Paul’s mindset seems to be if something isn’t working, the best approach is to get rid of it rather than reforming it. I’ll concede FEMA isn’t great but to have no federal emergency relief in times of natural disasters is moronic.

Having spent a lot of time arguing with them they say the Constitution grants the feds only “enumerated powers” (which are listed and granted) and disaster aid is not one of them so therefore must be left to the states.

But to claim the people via Congress cannot legislate other powers to the feds is absurd.
