The fact of the matter is that not everyone can handle the losses associated with these disasters. My insurance will take care of me, but there are countless others who will be seriously affected who cannot afford the coverage I have and who will be much more damaged than I will be. Perhaps you are prepared to let them suffer; I'm not. If it takes tax money to do it, so be it.

like i said, this is a big, big country, some parts are much more prone to getting 'hammered' than others....and i see james bowers properly pointed out the federal (taxpayer) underwriting of the rebuilding of these locations simply enables those who are otherwise (------->REAL WORLD) unable to afford it, do so....

there's a saying 'if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it'

if a person living in a flood prone area cannot afford the REAL cost of insurance to live there, then they should be moving to higher ground

and btw, do you think building and rebuilding in flood plain and moving people back in only to suffer yet again, a compassionate thing to do?

i don't
