Over Half Of America Declared Largest Natural Disaster

☆ QueenAline 2012/07/15 00:01:42
On Wednesday the United States Department of Agriculture declared
that more than 1,000 counties and 26 states, that have been affected by
the recent drought, had been declared natural disaster areas. That
makes this declaration the largest natural disaster in the history of
America.

The declaration
covers more than half of the nation and ends up giving farmers and
ranchers who have suffered from the drought access to, you guessed it
federal aid and low-interest emergency loans, or we like to think of it
as tax payer money.






While making the announcement on Wednesday, U.S. Agriculture
Secretary Tom Vilsack said, “Agriculture remains a bright spot in our
nation’s economy. We need to be cognizant of the fact that drought and
weather conditions have severely impacted farmers around the country.”


Though much of the country has experienced drought conditions , according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, some areas have seen intense downpours and flooding.


Temperatures in the month of June saw more than 170 all-time temperature records broken or tied.


Seeing that this has been called a “natural disaster” and that it has
also been the largest declared natural disaster in our nation’s
history, we should think carefully about all those things that have been
put into place to deal with such “disasters” and what the inevitable
cost will be to taxpayers.

    We live in a higher/cooler part of Northern Arizona, but it's been extra warm and dry here as well.

    We sometimes catch some extra rain from the Gulf Hurricanes. We just planted 17 trees and hope that the well keeps going!

    Now it's time for all of the RWNJs to blame the drought on Obama. Have at it.

    ya know? you deserve to be blocked with an asinine comment like that..how old are you? about 10? GET OFF MY PAGE if you can't be civil

    I've seen your posts, about Obama, before. Maybe we can hang out at recess together. As for blocking, if you're that sensitive, go for it. I don't block. I've found that ignoring is just as effective.

    Queen .. for such as he it is even worse.. he is a short male. His profile states 5'8" ....

    Human history 101 , eh?

    It is NO wonder at all why any males become so upset ..except that they refuse to SEE through the use of accurate AEONS of human male history ( "might makes right" ) how they cause all of their own problems and as well require that all the rest of humanity ( females and children ) suffer for those same insecurity problems.

    Sad .

    there was no reason for such a comment..It only shows what he's made of, and i tell you, it stinks pretty bad in here from him....i had to block him to air out the place. If ignoring is just as effective, why in God's name does he come to a post by someone he knows doesn't share the same views....I just don't get it from people like this..I can tell you that I don't waste my time going to a libs page and comment on their rhetoric...I DO ignore...but he just couldn't resist showing his ignorance....
    Thanks for the comment
