Chertoff: "Federal gov't is responder of last resort"
so much for so-called "homeland security"

http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/2650091.html

"The message emerging from the meetings is that the Bush administration considers it the responsibility of state and local governments to deal with disasters.

The federal government, Chertoff said, is a responder of the last resort."

7. Actually, with this administration he's right
No one should depend on the federal government no matter what. If it doesn't enrich their constituents, they ain't doing it. Fend for yourselves folks.
