[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 91260, member: 162"] Re: Tim McCulloch...are you alive? -1. More spending does not automatically solve problems. As the gov't is not subject to the checks and balances of a free market, there is little incentive for it to be efficient or effective. While I have no knowledge of the specific situation in OK regarding FEMA or educational spending, it is surely not an axiom that people advocating for limited government are greedy or uncaring, or that spending more money is always helpful and/or generous. Side stepping the possible straw man arguments (from both sides of the issue) of FEMA effectiveness vs. funding, I will go on record of preferring the response of organizations such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army, Samaritan's purse, and the many local religious and non-religious groups with feet on the ground, which I suspect care a lot more for huring people than the gov't bureaucracy does.
