Wanna Bet The Western Wildfire States Get Gov't Aid?

[Rockholm]

We here in New England have a DEVASTATING red tide situation. Thousands of people are affected, from fishermen to consumers and the federal government said...Sorry blue states, no money for your economic natural disaster.
Flip to Nevada, Utah, and whatever other states have wildfires burning. I bet that they will get federal loans to help them out.
Just another example of the punishment that we in Massachusetts and the other New England states suffer thru at the hands of BushCo.

1. I doubt we'll get much here in Montana

as our governor has been slapping Shrub at every opportunity. He asked for our National Guard troops back (from Iraq) for the upcoming fire season. Of course, Bush paid no attention.

Anyway, I'm not holding my breath for federal assistance....
