Posting a snarky response with just criticism and no helpful input is easy but pointless. The "government" is all of us and the "government" only acts in response to precedent.  The reason they study and analyse is because survivors and relatives will sue if "the government" screws up - you would probably be first in line to do so.  Yes the government will pull back for now but this article seems to say that private groups will continue to provide assistence.
