DUMP FEMA, WALMART HAS THIS…

Like the other members of Faux Snoozes cadre of entertainers and comedian-wanna-bees, John Stossel is required to produce an ever spiraling stream of the absurd to keep viewers distracted. Who do you think Stossel would turn to if his home is flattened by an act of nature? I’m not thinking Walmart.

Fox Business host John Stossel [auto-correct: Stoneless, JH] on Sunday asserted that most government was unnecessary because companies like Walmart would spontaneously provide assistance to disaster victims “in many more ways” than the Federal Emergency Management Agency could.

“Ever feel like government makes too many plans that come to naught?” Fox News host Tucker Carlson told Stossel during a segment on Fox & Friends. “It’s kind of a bold idea. You’re saying that not every human activity needs to be planned from above. Some things spontaneously work themselves out pretty well.”

According to Stossel, Americans would be better off with less government and more “spontaneous order,” a term coined by economist Friedrich Hayek which states that order will naturally emerge from chaos.

The Fox Business host said that one example of government over-planning was natural disasters.

“After Katrina, Walmart and private charities helped people in many more ways than FEMA did,” Stossel opined. “Because FEMA is incompetent because government tends to be. But also Walmart everyday needs to know what people need, and they were ready. They had more weather forecasters than some of the local governments do.”

Just how many meteorologists does Stossel fantasize work for local governments?
