Oh please. I lived through Sandy. Yes, the damage was utterly devastating to New York and the Jersey Shore. No question about that. But there were also people who did not have adequate insurance who have houses along the water nor did they properly prepare by having food, water, generator, flashlights, gas, and evacuate their home if necessary. I hate to sound cold, but I overinsured my home to protect me in the event of catastrophic damage i.e, a tree falling through the house, have a generator, had plenty of food and water, and gas and managed to live 8 days without electricity, a land line telephone and internet access.

I have heard these same people MF Cruz about the Zadrega Act which was also filled with billions in pork. This is what the liberals do. They pack these bills with so much crap that has nothing to do with the issue at hand that when a fiscal conservative votes against it because it is filled with crap, they can be attacked for hating the 9-11 responders or hating the people who had homes destroyed on the Shore or elsewhere. This is a crappy thing to do.

On the flip side, there are some things that the federal government should pay for. Since New York and New Jersey are large contributors to the federal government’s coffers through tax revenues, it is only logical that the feds need to help restore those devastated areas to what they were. The Jersey Shore is a huge revenue maker. The devastation to New York’s subways was crippling. Rather than building a bridge to nowhere in Alaska, the feds can give New York and New Jersey money to rebuild its infrastructure. Not to give EBT cards to the sorry sacks of shit, but get the area back to being able to generate revenue.

If you choose to have a house on the beach in an area prone to hurricanes, like Florida, you should make sure that you purchase adequate insurance to be able to repair or replace the damage should a storm hit. Don’t come looking to me to pay for your house because you did not have any insurance. I believe strongly in personal responsibility.

This is certainly the election of misinformation and propaganda. I think Goebels would be proud of the bs that we hear every day. November cannot come soon enough.
