I think if the trump administration cuts funding for schools, transportation, healthcare, natural disasters, etc. blue states should keep all revenue that would normally be sent to the Treasury. If there is any surplus, maybe send it or not. I'm kinda tired of supporting red states.

NC residents got $750. That was it. But millionaires homes burn so it’s unlimited reconstruction? Winning hearts and minds for our party I suppose, but I think the reality is that this is a horrible look.

Maybe you should get informed.
That 750 was immediate assistance for hotel and such, not the total amount. All eligible people can apply for more via fema.
It was explained over and over. I question where you get your news.

They got upfront $750 up in cash…
They also got temporary housing from FEMA but that was weeks later. Their church put them up the longest. All Americans should get federal support during disasters on an equivalence basis.
