Agreed... Govt has a role in the cleanup and the infrastructure. The question is how much to the state and how much to the Federal Govt. You mentioned that States have become "Self Insured" which is great if they are willing to accept the risk and the cost of repairs.
"Self Insured" should not mean others pick up the tab 100%. Just like a down payment in a home, the states should have a cost involved.
I do take personal responsibility and carry Homeowners Insurance. Do you ?
You should also read. This is not a discussion on Federal Highways but city infrastructure.
Hi, I'm going to repeat myself again to say
THEY ARE NOT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE TO HOMES WITHOUT INSURANCE.
If you'd like to know the actual truth of the matter, read my post above. They are only requesting 90% and 100% under emergency cleanup.
Yes ,because when its my turn to lose everything in a storm that money will be there for me. Its called living in a society.
Just like s.s. and other guv run Ponzi schemes lol
Don't stop believing that money will be there for you, because when enough people finally realize the reality that it wont,the house of cards comes tumbling down.

I call that Crystal Ball politics, it's the slave driver's lash that conservatives toil under.
I blame the media - people can only discuss what they report.
And it really goes back to what is NYC's "Fair Share". Would that be 25%, 10% or 0% ?
We're not talking the 9th ward of NO, NYC is a very wealthy city. There is no reason they should not cover the 25% mark.
