H.S. and Fema: If we only had more power.

I think that the Local and State govt should have all of the power and the federal help should be there to assist and not direct.

Government is the only institution in the world that rewards failure (especially repeat failure) with more money and responsibilities (ie. power). The more spectacular and visible the failure is, the better. Because the only way the government can fix anything, is to throw more money at it. That'll fix her up good.
In this case, where there is failure at multiple points, you have people fighting over power, trying to show who the biggest failure was. The feds will win handily, they have been grabbing more and more power from the states for decades, while giving up not an inch.
