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.
My wife and I live in an area that is neither likely to be flooded nor experience an earthquake. But my wife (bless her) insisted we get both on our insurance, and have had it for 24 years.
I do have a problem with building in areas that are going to be washed away in a storm, and expecting Uncle Sam to pick up the tab AND allow rebuilding.
I guess I can see where there is a once-per-lifetime event where the government helps out there and after that you are on your own regardless of who owns the property after that, but that is even a stretch.
