Sandy hurt a lot of ordinary people, but what those people lost far as damage goes was peanuts compared to what the titans on Wall Street lost---hundreds of billions of dollars in fees, commissions, surcharges, etc. due to having to close Wall Street down for two, maybe three days because the NYSE had no protection against Sandy's destructive force.
Now that's it's a certainty storms like Sandy are going to be rolling through Manhattan regularly from now on I wonder how those stay-out-of-my-business-except-when-I-need your-help Republicans feel now that Mittens made it very clear he plans to drastically cut back on FEMA, which could have protected the stock exchange's lost profits if it'd only acted more responsibly toward investors by erecting some sort of barrier against such storms, similar to what New Orleans has.

FEMA wont protect wall streets losses, that is the responsibility of the insurance companies.
