Our Sociopathic President Blames California for Fires, Threatens to Withhold Funds

The Gum tree plantation and not spending on forestry managment is exactly the cause and my hat goes off to a man who paid attention to gross stupidity in government from 1850 onwards. By the way the President is not responsible for adults or the minors in their charge nor their actions or lack thereof or thier state governments, he is responsible for implementing the laws of congress and appointing heads of federal agencies, the President is not nanny. Thats it end of story, so there is no automatic cash pipleine from the President to states which have become dependent on state of emergency funding to feed thier deficit spending. The person you should be harranging is the second generation of California Governors of the Brown family who is responsible for appointing the heads of state agencies and departments, the one responsible for this fire is the California Department of Forestry and Fire protection which has an annual budget of $2 billion and seems to not have spent it on removing the sources of fires but on what has crept up to 46,000 fires annually which have eaten up its budget for prevention bit of a frog in boiling water situation. More money will solve the fire problem but I cannot see a president subsidising further a self proclamed worlds sixth largest economy which expressed the desire to leave the union for it a marriage of convenience and has in fact spent that money on vote gaining social programmes unrelated to fire prevention.
