I would propose to you that over 90% of the membership here is, was, or will be a member of the Federal Govt! So are we part of the problem?

SF18C,
I completely agree with you about the natural disaster thing. I think the larger problem is not the Fed's, but some in society, who think that there is no inherent risk to living on this planet; and the Federal government should replace thier beachhouse after it's destroyed by Hurricane Younameit.
However, I would say the State of Wyoming can probably walk-the-walk when they say they don't want the Fed's there. They get very little in the way of disaster relief from the Fed (except for wildfires, mainly in manpower and some eqmt) or other subsidies.
If some other state's just asked for wildfire assistance, think of how much money we'd have to spend on.....
