There is no need to call me a dope! I was merely suggesting Congress try to model the NFIP after the CEA and prevent NFIP from having to be reauthorized all the time. The NFIP should be considered a standalone program and not be tied to other government programs/authorizations. The NFIP is here to stay so let’s make it “permanent” and save everyone the hassle of “reauthorizations.”
and when the mandatory purchase requirement was implemented was passed in 73 the country had a (oh I’m sorry dem bashers)republican administration OPPS tricky dick was in the white house didn’t they say to him resign or be prosecuted any way you want it??
Not trying to ram some bill down Trillions of Americans throats, without…even asking for their approval or buy-in. What an arrogant group we have leading us. Something tells me that even the Roman Senate often criticized for not taking on the cause of the citizenry would not be this imperious.
Good point Concerned!
Federal funds are definitely needed to insure these folks who choose to live in flood zones who would not otherwise have access to insurance.
That was sarcasm…
Really?? You’re going to support gov’t intervention in this – but, not in providing health insurance for sick children?? Come on now – I don’t know you – but, I know that you’re better than that.

Apparently, you aren’t. This is something that has am immediate impact on millions of families across the United States without bankrupting the entire nation, unlike the joke of a “health care reform” package leftist Democrats shoved down taxpayers’ collective throats. Clearly, liberals won’t waste any opportunity to shamefully politicize their socialist agenda.
Really, you think the flood program is adequately funded?!?
Gov’t involvement is gov’t involvement whether its the flood program or health care. And all in all, we are in deficit and continue to spend. Sticking up for one while bashing the other is not logical.
Besides you’re falling into the trap that both the Dem & Rep want you in if you are polarized against “each other” you’ll be too distracted to see how both “sides” are taking advantage of our current policital process.
Eliminate all political parties and institute single term limit for any elected position and lets get back to our civil servants running the country and not running a re-election campaign.
Sorry, got off track. Gov’t run does not work. Regardless if it is supported by Dems or Reps.
Free American – I agree with you that the gov’t does need to do something to help out these poor folks who chose to live in a flood zone. I also know that they’ll charge a reasonable premium for it. It’s a lot like the public option for health insurance could work to provide an option to the folks who are tougher to insure.
Also, this bill was only force fed to dullards like you who choose to politicize everything. Get over it my man – you lost this fight and the results will only make the world a better place for most and probably will have little effect on you.

The Federal Gov’t (which is us taxpayers) got involved because the insurance companies wanted out. Get it?

…to make the NFIP a stand alone program like the California Earthquake Authority. If California can do it, why can’t Uncle Sam?
