Understanding FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Administration)
When you live through wildfires in California, flooding in Texas, tornadoes in Kansas... and you witness whole communities destroyed, you start to realize how crucial FEMA is. Created by president Jimmy Carter in 1979, FEMA is one of the smarted executive orders issued by a president, but it's billion dollar budget runs out every fiscal year!
In the midst of raging wildfires of California, we reflect on this episode recorded in November 2024. Bruce intuitively talks about wildfire emergency responses, the damages he has witnessed, and the common sense support FEMA needs to respond to American disasters.

ABOUT COMMON SENSE FOR AMERICA:
Common Sense For America brings history and facts together to inspire non-partisan, common sense solutions to America's biggest challenges. Inspired by Common Sense a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine, 1776, Bruce Rutherford, political commentator and educator, dissects U.S. history, American finance, and global affairs, and shares insights in everyday language.
Thomas Paine's Common Sense argues that concentrated political power, whether in a monarchy or elite class, is unjust and undermines democracy. Like with Common Sense, we advocate for a government accountable to the people, emphasizing transparency, representation, and checks on power.
