The phrase “federal family” has been used in connection with FEMA at least as far back as 1999.Under President George W. Bush, FEMA officials sprinkled the alliterative euphemism into congressional testimony and statements. When former FEMA Director Michael Brown promised help to hurricane-battered Floridians in 2004, he vowed that “the federal family is dedicated to staying for as long as it takes.”
Don’t think of it as the federal government but as your “federal dysfunctional family.”
