There's no one else.<br /><br />That doesn't mean the government - or anyone - should insure against easily foreseeable disasters. And, of course, what's easily foreseeable has changed with the increase in extreme weather events due to human-caused climate change.<br /><br />For centuries, governments have built public works and encouraged private construction to further the economy's growth - ports, river navigation, railroads, lighthouses, levee systems, farm roads, highways, canals. Insurance and disaster aid have been among those inducements. Sometimes we've gone too far, like insuring more than once the reconstruction of vacation homes on barrier beaches.<br /><br />Just because that's stupid shit doesn't mean it's stupid to do all insurance.<br /><br />But of course you're incapable of such distinctions.lovable liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15616294696912710046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8167210975362071658.post-1043528959515877542012-12-03T09:24:28.362-05:002012-12-03T09:24:28.362-05:00I can't believe it Fidel...you posted a thread...I can't believe it Fidel...you posted a thread I actually agree with. I'll take it one step further and say that the feds shouldn't be in the insurance business. If you own a home or other property, you should have to insure it yourself. Period. What's all this BS about FEMA swooping in with billions of taxpayer dollars to hand out willy nilly just to make themselves look like humanitarians. Live in a flood zone, coastal area or tornado alley???....then get your own damn insurance. If you can't afford to live in disaster prone areas...then I shouldn't have to subsidize, or replace, your insurance premiums. Redistribution of insurance premiums...just what will you guys think of next? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
