Wow, I didn’t know this. Did you?
FEMA has distributed more than $2 billion to North Carolina flood victims.
Wait, there is more. FEMA is only one part of federal disaster recovery support for North Carolina. The National Flood Insurance Program has paid $123 million in claims resulting from Helene. The U.S. Small Business Administration has made $108.6 million in low-interest disaster loans to North Carolinians. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working with the state and communities on debris removal. So, really that’s 2B,231M,600,000 in aid to our fellow citizens where the need is so great!
That’s impressive, right? Biden’s government was getting a bad rap, right? Let’s compare.
2024 Foreign Aid by Country: 68.2 billion with a B (Ok, I didn’t add up this list but that’s what google says it adds up to, so I’ll go with that.)
This is just the tip of the iceberg. You go Elon! Take a blow torch to it!
