and elevate FEMA back to a cabinet level position.
HS is just more bureaucratic levels by a party that... ahem, wants a small government.

the repugs want to dismantle FEMA right?

| 2. I dunno. Jeb last year was very happy with FEMA |

| 3. they never wanted dhs. you think they wouldn't be |
|
happy to dump it along with fema? don't kid yourself. they would kill (wait, they are!) to privatize fema. the contract would probably go to halliburton.

| 4. DHS exists only as a political move |
|
Suggested by the commission (I believe) and as the-polls-we-do-not-watch showed, constituents wanted it. So we got it and you know where. Lip service is all it is and a chance to bust a union.
