Good for the government. A famous Republican President of the old persuasion, said “I've always felt the nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.”

But now conservative are praising the government for those nine words.

The Army COE have the equipment and experience to do some fast work. There's been a lot of improvement especially in the past two weeks. The weather's been pretty good for about a week now. The two families who were staying with us were able to get out to their tents and begin making progress on rebuilding their homes. It's all going to take a long time but it's going to be much faster now that there's help from the Army COE.

We’ve just heard that this week the damaged region in Western NC is predicted to get 5-7” of rain. Prayers would be appreciated.

So what is the plan for eliminating FEMA while also touting its great work? Use some other department to distribute aid?

I'm delighted the Helene victims get some help from federal sources, this looks like a good example of the federal government filling it's mandate.
