Mitt Romney In GOP Debate: Shut Down Federal Disaster Agency, Send Responsibility To The States: "If Romney had his way, privatizing disasters would be a disaster in itself. Price gouging is illegal in times of disasters but imagine a private company having the authority to do such that. You need water but it will cost you $20 for a gallon of water and you can't do anything about it. Your baby needs food, that's $5 for a small jar please. Hurricane Sandy has damaged many states along its travel up the eastern seaboard. Can all of these states coordinate with one another without the help of a federal agency? I live in a state that has seen its fair share of hurricanes coming up the Gulf of Mexico. I've gone through these hurricanes and had my disasters. If it wan't for the federal government providing disaster relief, many in the state of Texas would still be living under blue tarp roofs. This current disaster highlights the limited short sighted vision Mitt Romnisia has. You can't keep playing politics with the American peoples lives like many in the Republican party has. Even his running mate, Paul Ryan, wants to cut funding for federal disasters. I wonder if he will; walk back his words on this one after the death toll is finally counted and the millions in property damage has been assessed. Spin away, Romney, spion away."
