With even a similar efficiency to last year, hundreds of years of cumulative learned experience and expertise have been lost.
And, John, we know that hundreds of FEMA employees have both been fired and taken those voluntary buyouts afforded by this administration.
Today, the acting administrator at FEMA held a 30-minute town hall where he was asked, are we prepared for hurricane season?
He said, give me a few weeks to figure that out.
