Why in Gods name are the taxpayers responsible to rebuild some one elses' private property?
This country is going to hell in a handbasket pretty darned quick.
No...not what I meant. The increased NO taxes would ONLY be used for public infrastructure, including the levees. If you lived below sea level and didn't insure your own private property, you are totally screwed...and don't come whining to me to help you pay for it.
.....use the 250 billion to build a NEW New Orleans, in a higher, drier spot *might* make more sense than puting it into a sinking hole in the ground....
"Why in Gods name are the taxpayers responsible to rebuild some one elses' private property? "
That's a cold calculated question....GREAT QUESTION! One i've been asking myself for about a week now. But it's so insensitive and non-PC to ask it.
According to Fox's Judge Napolitano, he says it is unconstitutional for the feds to rebuild private property. When asked about the precedent of FEMA in other hurricanes, he says, "it has never been brought to the test in federal court."
To your point: Why in Gods name are the taxpayers responsible to rebuild some one else's' private property?
Why wouldn't victims of the hurricanes in Florida last year be able to get a class action lawsuit together and sue for reimbursement? Equal protection..??.. How "bad" does a disaster have to be to get a handout? If a tornado destroys one house and kills to out of four occupants, how does a disaster get worse for that family?
This federal spending compensating individuals for being victims of natural disasters is bad government. I thought that about the big cash payouts for 9/11. State and local matter, not federal.
