Now, why in the hell should the rest of the country pay for the stupidity of people continuing to live in a flood plain? If you insist on living there put your effing houses up on stilts and have a rowboat handy. The rest of us have enough trouble paying our own way with out having to pay yours too.
I usually stand with you guys, but you have no idea what this part of Texas is going through. I am surprised,though, that the mayor of Houston is already asking for funds because the worse part of the storm hasn’t even hit yet. They are expecting over 52” of rain over the next few days. I don’t think houses on stilts would help that much. We have many, many people in South Texas in terrible situations and don’t need smart @ss remarks from folks like you. We would appreciate prayers though.
