Dont blame me for the nations piggy bank being empty.

Okay, you just made it very clear that you are not familiar with the US government and the US economy. I'm not here to teach. It's in the US's best interest to invest in the rebuilding of the these states.

This isn't the south where hurricanes make landfall every year, or the midwestern states that have to deal with tornados. The northeast has never had anything like this before. Its not as if people were developing the Jersey Shore in spite of risk of hurricanes. There were no hurricanes. There is nothing that can be compared to this storm specifically for this area of the country.

Sorry taking money from the entire economy to rebuild jersey is not in anyones best interest, but for those who live and work there.
