Romney stands by pledge to shut down FEMA

Maybe Mitt Romney (along with the lunatic, Ron Paul) have been watching reruns of the X-Files too often.

Doubt Hurricane Sandy will change their minds.

The NYT writes today:

Most Americans have never heard of the National Response Coordination Center, but they’re lucky it exists on days of lethal winds and flood tides. The center is the war room of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where officials gather to decide where rescuers should go, where drinking water should be shipped, and how to assist hospitals that have to evacuate.
