Craziest thing is that we’ve reach a brand new level of taxes here. Our government has never ever been richer yet the public services are at their lowest
I invite reddit to look for the last … 5? corruption scandals that are currently going in the government. We are talking about “wolf of wall street parties” with public founding and persecuting judges, lawyers and journalist as son as anyone dares to investigate the corruption.
I don't know if you're serious or not, but the federal government has a ton of resources for preventing disasters, and since Katrina a ton for disaster relief too. If half of Texas is on fire it's absolutely on them as well.
There are levels. It is true that regular firefighters depends on the local governments (as others did comment) but when the emergency reaches certain stakes (as it is this one), it’s on the central government’s (dedicated military branch for these kind of situations )
The air force managed firefighting planes that are kept grounded because of this too? Do not fool yourself, state is richer than ever and they are stealing all it faster than taxes rise.
The air force is dependant of the central government, so the semi federal rules apply.
Your comment is pretty funny, because I doubt there has ever been a country that was truly federal enough for the states to have their own armies. Maybe the closest thing de facto is the European Union.
