They're all working on the assumption that he wants money to rebuild houses that don't have insurance.
Couldn't be farther from the truth.
To repeat:
NEITHER GOVERNOR IS ASKING FOR FUNDS TO PAY FOR HOUSES THAT WERE NOT INSURED.
I read it and it says "100% of the costs". It doesn't really differentiate the costs they want covered. I did like this comment:
"They have greater resources. They can print money; we can't do that here. And given the fact this is not just a New York disaster, it's really a national disaster, it's probably for the federal government to step up and play a significant role."

read the information that i posted in this thread that has the actual letter and relevant code he is applying under. its clearly defined what hes asking for and costs are differentiated.
If this happens to your home, I'm pretty sure you would want help, no matter who its from. You wouldn't say "the gov't is too big to be helping me" would you? No, plus who else can pay for it? I along with plenty of others on this site have donated to the Redcross but that's about all we can do, I don't know of a organization (besides our taxes) that could help rebuild infrastructure in the area. Either way, somebody has to pay for it, rather its you, me, donor's, the government, etc.
If you don't have home Insurance with flooding added on and the place is wiped out you are stuck holding the bag. if you owe the bank for it you still owe the bank for it.
The Govt isn't buying anyone new houses, no matter who wants them too. At best the Govt will pay to clean up the mess, and rebuild some roads and bridges.
If anyone had no ins they are schit out of luck...

When Cuomo says "Washington" he means you and me. Should Obama agree to pay 100% of the cleanup ? Typical Democrat who says just print more money. All done by union workers.
"I don't use the interstate that goes to whatever city you live in. Therefore, I shouldn't be forced to pay for it."
Sheesh, if you would just read some of the writings of James Madison once in a while, you'd realize how far off the deep end your political philosophy is from the original intent of people who built this country in the first place - not to mention how far off the deep end it is from common sense.
