I'll go listen to it again if you will do the same. I'm hearing something completely different than you are. I do NOT hear FEMA being returned to the states. I hear FEMA starting the topic and THEN he pushes for deciding what to KEEP, not what to ELIMINATE.
I'm not quite sure how that part was missed. Maybe you can quote the part you are referring to as clarification
Which is really saying, let's have no viable solution to national disaster relief at all. - that's what you are saying he is saying but it ain't what he said. I can't believe I'm defending this guy but sheesh, he has enough wrong with him without creating stuff.
I've done my best to make my case. Maybe we are living in parallel universes. You said: I'm not a Romney Fan, either. But his ideas on this issue are just wacky. He's selfish but he's not wacky (any more so than his wacky partys platform anyway)

And, what did he tell you?
He clearly said what I posted in the OP: He thought it would be a far superior idea to push the entire function of disaster control back to the States. But, he did not stop there. He then said that it would be "even better" to push the entire thing into the Private Sector.

Maybe you can quote the part you are referring to as clarification - but he clearly stated that his preference would be State at a minimum and Privatization as the Optimum goal. Which is really saying, let's have no viable solution to national disaster relief at all.
But, based on what FEMA does - based on its mission - what would you return to the States?
