Florence: At least 15 deaths reported as storm slogs across Carolinas

Ah, the National Review, a conservative editorial magazine to Texas' rescue.

Yes, it was very hypocritical, especially when we consider that Texas likes to arbitrarily play secession games. Of course, its hard to secede when Texans are looking for tax payers in forty-nine other states to help them. AND while boasting a lack of state taxes? And I hear they even got help from the Mexican government too.

People do like massaging issues into a form that relieves them of that understanding of hypocrisy.

Not to mention, they seem to fail to realize if they are no longer part of the US, that means that those businesses that find it oh so hospitable to do business in Texas will be facing tariffs to sell their goods in the US (since Texas would then be a separate country). It would cost those businesses more to do business with the US from Texas, and therefore not likely to be worth actually being in Texas. Those businesses would move back to the US, pretty much breaking Texas.

It's all about an image that only they seem to think is real.

I believe a good government can get things accomplished. I am glad you agree the Trump government is not a good government, therefore things can't get done.

Since when does Trump run North Carolina?

We are talking about the state government, right?

Trump declared the hurricane a national emergency. The federal government now has a specific duty to the people of every state involved. Or are federal taxes only paid to pay off tax cuts for the rich?

The first line of defense is the state government. The feds fill in where they are needed.

The complaint here is about the response, so you are complaining about the state government which Trump has nothing to do with.

These are empty maxims, now that the federal government has declared a NATIONAL emergency, does the federal government have any responsibility?

If no, just say so.

If they do, then let us know what a great job they've been doing. From what I hear, the devastation is only getting worse.
