In this situation, who helped more? FEMA, HLS, the president? Or charities like the salvation army, red cross, and church groups? The evidence points to the federal government letting this get so out of hand that the only solution was to bring in the troups as our saviors which is a very scary precident.
Libertarians are not anarchists. They simply believe citizens can do a better job than the government, which I believe was demonstrated here.
Why do we even have to give massive amounts of money to charities? Shouldn't most of this be covered by FEMA and DHLS's budget?
