pretend any state that gets hit by a hurricane is Iraq ... $15 Billion a month magically appears.

more like priority

we're more than willing to break the bank so some third world puke can have a purple thumb .. taking care of our own, in our country, not so much.

Dear OP,

Tell it to the weatherman, asshole.

This thread reveals the character of the righties on this board.

You guys (and slits) make me wanna puke.

I agree with all that say subsidizing flood insurance is wrong. If the government was not controlling that market private insurers would step in. Most people could probably not afford the insurance but it would be available. Those that can't afford it would simply have to live where they can afford like everyone else.

To say the government has to do it because of farmers is silly. Farmers farm land they do not live on all the time.
