Definition of INSANITY…doing same thing over and over and expecting different results.
I think we have built and REBUILT many times in countless places of overdevelopment near water.
If you want to build on the water, pay the appropriate rate for the risk, but don’t expect taxpayers to rebuild time after time, after time…etc.
How can anyone not think that’s a fair way and the current way is…INSANITY.
More than 50% of the total U.S. population lives within the 100 year flood zone. This is a problem that will never go away. You can’t move entire cities. There are only a few cities in the U.S. that are not built on major waterways subject to flooding.
Congress keeps kicking this can down the road. They prefer to live by continuing resolution like they do the budget. We can’t let a good crisis go to waste, can we? For the past 3 years, the Flood Programs goes right up to the brink and then they short term fund it. Agents don’t know what to do and lenders will not approve loans unless there is something in place. Enough already.
No one thinks that but you and the other tin-foil hat wearing crowd. For the umpteenth time, the PPACA is not government run health insurance. It mandates that you purchase private health insurance. Why is that so hard to grasp?
What is discouraging is that neither of New York’s Senators signed the letter. Considering the devastation that occurred as a result of Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee this past summer, one would think that they would want to aggressively pursue NFIP reform.
when I get to be Supreme Monarch, there will be no NFIP. no governmental entity should be selling insurance. none.
The only reform is abolition of this useless boondoggle.

And to think that the government wants to run the health insurance business…which they will be doing by 2014!

Went to the back room & got relief
