    ‘Bunning eventually agreed to lift his hold after he offered an amendment on funding, which was defeated…’ So Bunnings objection to the continued passage of unfunded bills accomplished nothing and nothing will be done going forward to curb runaway spending. Politics as usual.

    Dr J, what is a Progressive? What is a liberal? These terms are confusing to me.

    Progressives are the people who believe the government should control every aspect of your life and they should progressively move from Freedom and capitalism to socialism as quickly as possible without being detected.

    Cotyre, thx for the explanation. If this is what the Progressives want/believe, why don’t they just move to China? Isn’t the grass always greener (I mean redder) on the other side?

    NFIP has been around since 1968 and has always been subsidized by taxpayers. Don’t blame the current administration for a program that favors developers and builders and relies on an inept Army Corps of Engineers for determining flood hazard.

    I don’t know, these clandestine Progressives sound like pretty scary people. I’m just happy to be able to write flood policies again.

    Watch Glenn Beck and he will give you the history of progressives – it is really scary as they hinge on communism….Beck
    has really informed Americans what is going on and what is going to happen if this continues. Obama is neck deep in this stuff.

    anybody that has to rely on somebody else’s opinion in order to form their own is no better than the progressives. get a life: read the news, even Fox, and make your own opinions. you might as well watch Ophra and Dr Phil.
    I’m as conservative as they are, but I don’t need to listen to their rants to get there.

    Ask yourself “who is worse the prostitute, the pimps or the johns”?
    The National Flood Insurance Program in a desperate attempt to stay alive has prostituted itself, their pimps are the insurance industry and yes the tax payer and congress are the johns.
    They have lobbing Congress for mandatory preparation, high risk rates, asking for forgiveness of the note to the US Treasury; lenders must participate or face fines, escrow accounts for enforcement, and so on and so on.
    The program has become so much automated to the point that if a property that is found to be in the flood zone your lender will notify the barrower they must buy flood insurance. If the owner does not comply the leader will open an escrow account for them.
    The GAO has estimates at least 56% of premiums are for selling policies.
    I say estimate because it turns out fema is not keeping track of these cost they paid.
    Yes the flood program is a much like a prostitute, the pumps are the greedy insurance industry and we and congress are the JOHNS.
    Like I said the program is so automated it no longer needs insurance agents to sell their product.
    The program needs to sell direct.
    A savings up to 56% should be possible right away.
    Want to cut your flood insurance bill by 56% or more.
    Tell congress.
