More local control means disaster aid tailored to real needs, not one-size-fits-few bureaucrat schemes.

Giving states a blank check sounds more like abdication than accountability — the feds can’t just wash their hands here.

States want control, sure, but will this bill empower them or just shuffle money and paperwork around?

Flexibility is key after disasters, but let’s not trade oversight for convenience — balance is everything.

Finally, some common sense—let states manage disaster funds without federal babysitting.

Turning disaster aid into a block grant gamble? Sounds like cutting corners when people need help the most.

Disasters are nationwide problems, not local lotteries; this bill plays political ping-pong with lives at risk.

Block grants could speed aid, but only if they don’t become a bureaucratic black hole.

Block grants mean faster relief and less red tape; Washington’s endless approvals only slow us down.
