Soooo when is it NOT Fire Season??? Franklin fire in Malibu CA

I think it’s because of how much we see instances of government waste, pocket-lining and misuse of funds that people would prefer to see existing funds spent more responsibly before agreeing to further tax increases.
No doubt, and I agree about the waste and misuse. I was more commenting on the openness of the general American to "sacrifice" for the common good of all people. If there's nothing in it for them....you get the idea. I won't delve into politics, but something is wrong with the whole system when in the middle of people dying, fleeing for their very lives - while a wildfire destroys countless homes, some politicize the moment. Can't we come together for ANYTHING anymore? I digress.....
