Funding For Disaster

I read "Lawmakers expected to take up bonding plan" in the Sioux City Journal today Iowa Lawmakers passed a 56 million dollar bill to help aid disaster victims. My first thougt when i read this was about dang time, last year Iowa experienced so much disaster with all the flooding. What really got me was that they weren't prepared for it and they should of been. One of my best friends is in the national guard was sent to Burlington Iowa and Des Moines to help with the aid efforts i understand it was his job but i couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with the whole situation because i was afraid considering how dangerous the situations were that something was going to happen to him. He came home, but i feel all of that could of been prevented last year or at least it wouldn't of been so bad if maybe they would of done something about this last year everyone knew the bad weather was coming so why couldn't they try to help it instead of letting it get so bad well at least they are going to be prepared this year, and now the Iowa lawmakers are planning on taking it to the capital to try to get it tripled!
