While I hope everybody is well after the pounding Florida took again,
I have to wonder why we put up with the Federal Government paying for
natural disasters that occur year after year. If you can't afford
the proper insurance for the disasters that hit your area, MOVE.

We all know Florida and the Carolinas get hammered by hurricanes,
California has earthquates and forest fires, Oklahoma has tornados,
and those who live in a flood plane of a river get floods, and those
who live at the base of a volcano get covered in lava, yet tax payers
are forced to reimburse those people who CONTINUE to rebuild in the
exact same spot time after time, knowing those places will get hit
again in the future. Frankly, I'm tired of it.

This is Turtle.

Larry , Before Flood insurance came along , the Federal government was repairing
and replacing homes for nothing after hurricans and it became too much cost to
take. So the Federal Government came up with Flood insurance and stop paying for
home repairs for nothing. The money taken up for flood insurance will take care
of all the losses due to flooding or weather damage.

Good, so you are paying for flood insurnace like a good responsible
person. If all the people had the proper amount of insurance,
Congress wouldn't have to have a special $2 billion appropriation.


Also Larry if you don't have flood insurance the Federal government will not fix nothing on your home.

Will not fix nothing? Will not fix anything you mean? I'm not nit
picking your grammar, just trying to understand.

Regardless, if my tax money has to be spent, the home owner obviously
didn't have the proper amount of insurnace.

Look, I feel bad for these people. Living in S.E. Michigan, the worst
we ever see is an occasional tornado, snowstorm, or strong
thunderstorm. But even if a tornado wiped out my house, I have
insurnace to cover it. It's propably a 1 in a million chance that it
will happen, but I still am a responsible person and don't expect
anyone to be forced to pay for my possible losses.
