Wow, I looked at his posts and just a day or so ago he said

The citizens of Louisiana don't deserve what this nation is doing to them.

What this nation is doing to them? I guess he's upset because you and I don't just give him a blank check, huh?

Or ask that hundreds of billions of tax dollars be used to remediate natural hazards instead of just setting up the bowling pins for nature all over again.

Howlin, are you blind or have you noticed the abject hatred, insults, ignorance and abuse being shoved down our throats here in Louisiana? We don't deserve this. Lots of your fellow freepers need our help and understanding. No one is looking for a hand-out. This proposal is not a hand-out, but a loan. It will not be administered by those 'corrupt" politicians everyone seems to think we're over run with. Almost all of the loans will go to homeowners and property owners who are currently in a state of flux. No one is getting anything from their insurance policies right now, at least very few are getting settlments that are acceptable. The insurance companies know these folks can't take forever to restart their lives and they are taking advantage of them big-time with low ball offers.

This bill, if put into action would help these normal (just like you and me) folks buy time for themselves and free them from what they are dealing with. You won't be paying the bill for this, the ones who redevelop the property will. What's wrong with this?

BTW, on the subject of self-help, what's wrong with Louisiana financing it's own recovery through taxation on oil and gas use of our coastline? Do you want oil and gas rigs off the coast of North Carolina?
