Former FEMA administrator Mike Brown, who headed the agency during
Hurricane Katrina, said Tuesday that he agreed with House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) that the federal government should not
allocate additional funds to the FEMA without offsetting budget cuts.
"We
don't have the money for right now to do it," Brown said in an
interview on Fox News. "We have to start making these hard decisions
facing the fiscal reality that the country is broke."
Brown, who was widely criticized for his leadership during the
Hurricane Katrina recovery, resigned as the head of FEMA in 2005. Brown
also said that the U.S. can't afford to continue to send rescue aid to
foreign countries that suffer natural disasters.
