States are expected to ask the federal government to repay them at least an estimated $45 billion spent fighting the coronavirus, with President Trump likely to decide whether their costs will be covered in full.
Under the law governing the Federal Emergency Management Agency, states are allowed to receive reimbursement for 75% of their expenses fighting the virus. Yet 39 states and territories have asked FEMA to waive that rule, requesting full reimbursement of expenses for medical supplies, testing and other services, according...
Supplies to fight a weak version of the flu that only killsold people already sick and dying
I'm sure he'll handle things in a fair and ethical... *snrk* Ha! I can't do it without laughing. Wait wait! Let me try again!
Gee, I wonder which states Trump will pick?! Hmmm... quite the mystery. 🙄
He’s been messing up the federal funding and probably the actual grant awards process since day one. I’ve never seen another president abuse power like this in more than 20 years.
You did an op Ed on the Governor of MN. He is using his own model that he isn’t sharing.... look into who created the model!!! GovTimWalz should resign he has ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands of people based on a dubious model that no other state in the USA is using.
Tragic...
billpostmus Why weren’t they prepared? A lack of leadership, we all need to recognize and remember this.
He won't give anything back because he took his cut for his campaign and personal expenses.
well maybe if governors were prepared and had a stockpile, they wouldn't have to pay high prices when everybody else wants it at the same time because they were all so ill-prepared!!!!!!!! Supply and demand SMH
Imagine Obama acting like this, how the red states would fucking scream bloody murder if he didn’t repay them
Screw them they caused a panic, a shortage and over paid - too fucking bad
These states need to file a class action suit for their fed tax money back. There is power in numbers. For the states that thinks this is okay, you could be next when your loyalty doesn’t go deep enough.
Dont
Part of the inflated prices comes from the scarcity of the resources. Were the factories creating the resources disrupted? Where were these factories located? Will states be happy with the FEMA standard of 75% or demand the 100% repayment?
And we’ll RememberInNovember.🤷🏻♀️
It’s sad that this is even an issue. There is no empathy for others.
capitalism?
We'll just have to see what his and his cronies' cut is
I’m about sick of this POWER verbiage being thrown around as if we’re peasants & the Orangeman is a king!!🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
So, red states.
to which every single state will of course be fully reimbursed because duh
Trump is hateful
Good. No funding for states who are locked down
Wyoming has few cases. We were about to open over six weeks ago, but five CDC thugs showed up, demanding that we buy TONS of stuff we didn't need from their cronies. Pure extortion, and the governor caved.
And realDonaldTrump VP MarkMeadows GOPLeader senatemajldr and all the GOP will decide this on a purely partisan platform because they are disgusting quislings. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020
Whenever Trump hits a fork in the road, he takes the most corrupt path as a matter of instinct. You cannot change nature.
