Those liberals in Asheville should be appreciative. Funny how different two administrations can be.

HUD awards over one billion dollars to NC for families recovering from Helene

HUD Agency Head Adrianne Todman traveled to Asheville alongside Gov. Josh Stein to deliver the announcement.

Biden's administration approved it, then Trump blocked it, now all he did was unblock it again to take credit for it...Every time I think you people have reached the peak of stupidity you go and shock me again.

Go ahead, praise Biden just like you were doing for Trump...

It was "awarded" by Biden. As of January 7th they had a total of 2 travel trailers built. Lol typical biden.... months and months after the disaster
So whe libs say Trump cut funding for NC, he actually didn't then right?

Yeah it's almost like that's how FEMA works, it's almost like FEMA is designed to respond to the requests and filings of the states.

So the approval came 4 months after the hurricane. How many months has the Trump administration made them wait since January 7th when it was awarded? My math might not be great, but I'm pretty sure that's an additional 4 months.

Also Trump denied their request for this funding back in March, so yeah reporting that he stopped their funding at that time was correct. As of October last year, less than 1 month after the hurricane, FEMA had already distributed more that $190million in direct payments to North Carolina residents.

Try the Republicans in the House of Representatives that were using it as a political tool. They specifically stated their intention was to withhold funding until Trump takes office.

The Biden administration did everything they could without Congressional approval for North Carolina. By November, 21 2024 FEMA had distributed more than $244 million to North Carolina residents.

Then the House finally passed it 3 days before Christmas.

Congress is allocating more than $100 billion in emergency aid to address extensive damage caused by hurricane and other disasters.

I can't respond to the entirety of your post, but I can address 1 issue with Buncombe/Asheville. The submittal from local government included race-based funds distribution. That required the local government to rework and resubmit its plan.

Yes, 7% of the total Asheville plan had them conforming to small business grant and loan evaluation requirements for women and minority-owned businesses that have been the standard since at least the Bush administration when I started working with the SBA and GSA systems 20 years ago.

They blocked $1billion+ in assistance over $17 million being potentially distributed according to the standard practice of the last 20 years.

At least you've made it clear that you've never actually listened to a single speech of MLK other than 6-7 words....But what else can I expect from someone that advocates a Muslim genocide.

Now, there is another myth that still gets around. It is a kind of over reliance on the bootstrap philosophy. And there are those who still feel that if the Negro is to rise out of poverty, if the Negro is to rise out of slum conditions, if he is to rise out of discrimination and segregation, he must do it all by himself.

And so they say, the Negro must lift himself by his own bootstraps. They never stopped to realize that no other ethnic group has been a slave on American soil. The people who say this never stopped to realize that the nation made the black man’s color a stigma. But beyond this, they never stopped to realize the debt that they owe people who were kept in slavery 244 years.

In 1863, the Negro was told that he was free as a result of the Emancipation Proclamation being signed by Abraham Lincoln, but he was not given any land to make that freedom meaningful. It was something like keeping a person in prison for a number of years and suddenly discovering that that person is not guilty of the crime for which he was convicted.

And you just go up to him and say, now you are free. But you don’t give him any bus fare to get to town. You don’t give him any money to get some clothes to put on his back or to get on his feet again in life....

Through an act of Congress, it was giving away millions of acres of land in the west and the Midwest, which meant that it was willing to undergird its white peasants from Europe with an economic floor. But not only did it give the land, it built land grant colleges to teach them how to farm.

Not only that, it provided county agents to further their expertise in farming. Not only that, as the years unfolded, it provided low interest rates so that they could mechanize our farms. And to this day, thousands of these very persons are receiving millions of dollars in federal subsidies every year not to farm. And these are so often the very people who tell Negroes that they must lift themselves by their own bootstraps.

It’s all right to tell a man to lift himself by his own bootstraps, but it is a cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps.

Haley: Do you feel it’s fair to request a multibillion-dollar program of preferential treatment for the Negro, or for any other minority group?

King: I do indeed. Can any fair-minded citizen deny that the Negro has been deprived? Few people reflect that for two centuries the Negro was enslaved, and robbed of any wages—potential accrued wealth which would have been the legacy of his descendants. All of America’s wealth today could not adequately compensate its Negroes for his centuries of exploitation and humiliation. It is an economic fact that a program such as I propose would certainly cost far less than any computation of two centuries of unpaid wages plus accumulated interest. In any case, I do not intend that this program of economic aid should apply only to the Negro; it should benefit the disadvantaged of all races.

Within common law, we have ample precedents for special compensatory programs, which are regarded as settlements. American Indians are still being paid for land in a settlement manner. Is not two centuries of labor, which helped to build this country, as real a commodity? Many other easily applicable precedents are readily at hand: our child labor laws, social security, unemployment compensation, man-power retraining programs. And you will remember that America adopted a policy of special treatment for her millions of veterans after the War—a program which cost far more than a policy of preferential treatment to rehabilitate the traditionally disadvantaged Negro would cost today.

The closest analogy is the GI Bill of Rights. Negro rehabilitation in America would require approximately the same breadth of program—which would not place an undue burden on our economy. Just as was the case with the returning soldier, such a bill for the disadvantaged and impoverished could enable them to buy homes without cash, at lower and easier repayment terms. They could negotiate loans from banks to launch businesses. They could receive, as did ex-GIs, special points to place them ahead in competition for civil service jobs. Under certain circumstances of physical disability, medical care and long-term financial grants could be made available. And together with these rights, a favorable social climate could be created to encourage the preferential employment of the disadvantaged, as was the case for so many years with veterans. During those years, it might be noted, there was no appreciable resentment of the preferential treatment being given to the special group. America was only compensating her veterans for their time lost from school or from business.

They blocked it because they didn't conform to Trump's EO. That changed whatever the standard practice was. This is a really simple concept.

You didn't mention him in the post to which I replied. But thanks for proving my pint that you blamed him when it was Asheville's fault.
