As Hurricane Sandy prepares to ravage the East Coast and beyond, let us pause and be thankful that Mitt Romney is not our current president.
For Romney, when asked by CNN's John King about what he would do with FEMA, said essentially this:
Federal funding for disaster relief is "immoral," and is something that should be left up to the states or, "even better," the private sector.
See, in Romney's world, funding disaster relief is immoral because of teh deficit, whereas giving tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans who can evacuate to one of their dozens of vacation homes?
Not so much.
