The Left will tell you government cares. That only government will make sure you have a roof over your head and food on your table. They’ll help you when you really need it, so pay lots and lots of taxes to make sure government can be there when you need them most.

Except they’re not. Ever. Government takes your tax money, lines its pockets, and leaves people high and dry.

During the recent hurricanes in the southeast U.S., lots of people — especially in North Carolina — lost everything. FEMA was slow to respond and said it didn’t have enough money.

They also didn’t answer half of the phone calls they received.

Mike Toomey called a federal helpline last week to get disaster aid after Hurricane Helene flooded his home in western North Carolina.

He got a recording instead.

‘They said I was 675th in line,’ Toomey, a painter in a spattered shirt, recalled as he waited outside a federal recovery center in Hendersonville.

Hundreds of thousands of people who are trying to recover from disasters nationwide have been unable to get through to federal call centers or have stayed on hold for excessive periods of time in the weeks since Helene barreled into southern Appalachia last month.

Overwhelmed by Helene and Hurricane Milton, the centers failed to answer nearly half of the incoming phone calls over the course of one week recently. For the calls that were answered, it took more than an hour for federal workers to pick up, on average.
