And I agree with pretty much all of what you just said. :) I can see where coastal states would get together and have a catastrophe fund, but i can also see why Nebraska wouldn’t participate (although I know the midwest gets large chunks of change from the government for disasters, so maybe it would be an idea to have neb participate).
and no offense to you, I just find it tiresome when people throw the midwest around as an example when they have no idea of what goes on here. it floods, the farmers suffer severe droughts, tornadoes can wipe out a city in a matter of minutes…but for some reason…that’s not good enough for the east/west coast to matter.
not to sound idealistic, but sometimes, i wish, in these circumstances, we would look at things from the perspective of the country as a whole not as each individual state.
Thanks for the “conversation” caffeind. Have a great day!
It’s going to be great having a female President. Of course, it will take years to rid ourselves of the mess we’re in with the current bunch! We love you Hillary.
The people that are against this idea are assuming there is some tax involved. They simply don’t understand the concept. Further, they are not Americans. The first word in United States is United. Just for the record, tornado’s could cause 10 times the devistation a hurricane does due to wind speeds.320 mph verses 150 mph.

WWWW – get a life. Obviously you have nothing important to add except pointing out one misspelled word. I am quaking in my boots. Sucks to be you.

Way to go Hillary, I can’t wait for you to become president to clean up the mess that the Republic are leaving behind.
She’ll do just great, as long as every event in the White House is scripted.

Remember , If we rationalize statistics, we will always have problems. What price do we put on human lives and safety?
The plan is sound. Human nature reflects fear of change. This is a change for the better. Now is the time to stand together. Unity as Americans.
