This water thingamajig reminds me of how polarized we are, we gots the pro-water flood insurers against the pro-winddamage pay me cuz I had insurance folk; it reminds of of the wal-mart vs union, Iraq war vs surrenderers, vegietariens vs carnievors, and even right vs left...even
reminds me of government; gridlock that is; you got the reds hatin' the blues, and the blues hatin' the reds; dat's why nuttin' gets done in Washington; it's like the big fish and the little fish; the big fish wants to eat, and the little fish wants to eat, but the big fish wants to eat the little fish, and the little fish doesn't want to be eat. See, that's like government. What we need is universal flood coverage; put a $500k cap on it, but a 15% deductible; that way you makes flood people take responsibility for some of their loss, but you can provide coverage to the really well off people like me who need extra coverage for their beach property. That, and we should tax gas 50 cents per gallon on top of the current taxes to balance the budget.
