Yeah, I wonder how many of his gazillions Mitt will be donating to those wiped out by this storm. More likely a buck and a half. How can any rational thinker support this moron?

Someone on the “Room for Debate” section in yesterday’s New York Times opined that FEMA’s sole purpose during disasters should be law enforcement and major public works- and that the free market should handle everything else.

“A FEMA that established free trade zones — in which all normal regulations, licensing and taxes were suspended, and in which buyers and sellers felt secure and protected — would better provide the goods and services victims need.”
If this isn’t the neoconservative dream scenario, I don’t know what is. Business given carte blanche to gouge desperate citizens and profiteer? “You say you desperately need fresh water and food? That’ll be $1300. Oh, your wallet went out with the tide? Well, we just so happen to have loan forms highly favorable to our bottom line… but if you don’t like the terms, you’re free to die, of course.”
The “free market” ONLY works if the buyer and seller both feel free to walk away from the deal. How likely is that when the buyer potentially faces the death of himself or his loved ones when doing so?

Caviar is very salty, I read somewhere. Not the ideal food in a flooded area with raw sewage and Diesel in the water… On the other hand… When I was a kid I visited an aircraft museum here in Germany. They had a disassembled U.S. fighter plane survival kit on display, with descriptions. There was a… well… “stick of concentrated meat with additives”… that was the inscription. The text said that this, and this alone, would be enough to keep a man from hunger for A WHOLE WEEK! That thing was “a thumb” by “a thumb” by “a hands length”. If the military had this in the 70’s, 80’s, why are we talking about food distribution now?

Colbert was also most accurate when saying Mitt would turn everything over to the states, that are under water and have seen their total infrastructure blown out to sea.
