Here’s my question.
Homeowners should be insured from windstorm (hurricane or tornado), fires, floods, etc....right? Granted, politicians have driven many private insurers out of business due to regulation and have forced property owners into state pools which makes no sense whatsoever, but still...
Business owners, ditto.
Municipalities, counties and states should be insured or self-insured.
Clean up is usually done by the individuals affected, hired by them or their insurer, or these people are on the payroll anyway (city crews, for example).
WHY THE HELL ARE WE RELYING ON THE FEDS FOR “DISASTER RELIEF” ANYWAY????????
I certainly don’t think we should be helping those with insurance or businesses that lose money from being closed,etc. I don’t even agree with helping people that repeatedly build homes along coastal waters. The problem is our government is the largest insurer and therein lays the problem. We are paying for it all and Obama is playing political games with OUR MONEY!
I can see the need to rebuild certain areas that provide economic benefit to states...but who pays for it all? That is the question. And who decides who gets what? That is the problem.

I heard that emergency workers of some type in NYC are costing upwards of $300 an hour during Irene. Unionized of course. Wanna bet the national guard members don’t get 10% of that amount?
