[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel sad for the people of FL. Have they even recovered from the last hurricane yet? The news hasn't covered much at all. I have no idea if people are still out of power.[/quote]

I do and I don't. These people choose to live in a state with a massive risk for yearly catastrophic weather. They don't pay a state income tax and my federal tax dollars go to bail them out again and again. There are 49 other nice states to live in. I'm so sick of the entitlement. People want to talk about government handouts? How much does rebuilding Florida three times a year cost us?[/quote]
I think that certain vulnerable areas, especially along the coast, need to be designated as future national parks. When a disaster hits and homes are completely destroyed, the people living there get automatically bought out rather than rebuilding the home. This would be similar to totaling a car when the repair costs more than the car value. Provide more than enough so they can move somewhere else. I don’t think we need to be subsidizing people’s ocean front views anymore.[/quote]

I said the same thing today - turn all the barrier islands into part of the National Parks.

Offer everyone a one time payout. If you choose to stay, there will be no federal funds used to repair homes or structures (either directly or through subsidies). If your home is washed away, you will not be allowed to rebuild. [/quote]
