Snap Fact #343 Comparing Platforms:  Federal Fundng for Disaster Relief

Democrat: We support strengthening rural water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure to make rural businesses more competitive. We have expanded broadband access to nearly seven million rural Americans, including rural businesses, creating new jobs. We have invested in water and wastewater community infrastructure projects, safeguarding the health of 18 million rural residents and creating even more jobs. Democrats will strengthen the American farm safety net by renewing crop disaster relief, maintaining strong crop insurance programs, and creating a permanent disaster relief program. We will improve access to education and health care, especially for rural veterans, and conserve millions of acres of public lands while supporting rural recreation and tourism.

Republican: (There is NO information to provide adequate Federal funding for disaster relief. In fact if the current Republican tax cutting program continues this should have a major impact for any relief program, in the smaller government mentally.)
