" surely we could build a water pipeline from the Mississippi to the western states."
Screw that. Get your own damn water.
"Screw that. Get your own damn water."
Nice.
I live in Arizona and pay flood insurance for a property that hasn't had a flood in over 100 years, and probably won't within my lifetime.
The money all goes to FEMA who uses it for cleaning up after floods in the Mississippi river region every year.
Mind calling FEMA and telling them you're letting me off the hook for paying for the floods that ravage the homes of people dumb enough to live in what is called the "flood plain?"
What, no?
Pay for the cleanup of your own damn floods.
