    Liberal Agent, it is exactly this type of partisan behavior that has put us in the spot we are in. Republican, Democrat, or anything else is not to blame, we are for letting it happen. Capitol hill has been empowered by us and now it is out of control and we will suffer the consequences of their actions. Leaving Washington with this hanging is just another example of their arrogance, regardless of which side of the isle you sit.

    You mean to tell me that private P & C carriers lack the underwriting and actuarial skills to rate and write their own flood policies?

    Since the country supposedly opposes single payer health insurance, no one should be upset if FEMA and Uncle Sam bow out of the flood business and let free market to its thing

    Great idea stop funding for a broken system before coming up with a better one first. Don’t get me wrong I abhor my tax dollars going to rebuild homes for ppl without good sense to move out of an area tha habitually floods, but unless there is some kind of solution is able to be pick up where this one leaves off will only make it more expensive. I’d personally like to see it go back into the private sector instead of goverment control.

    It’s so great that our Federal government is looking out for us. This practice of putting unrelated things in a bill needs to stop. If there was a vote just for the flood program, it would pass. But they attached it to the jobs bill…with the hope that would help force the jobs bill through. This is how pork happens all the time…attaching unrelated things in a spending bill.

    Please tell me anywhere in the world where everyone can just drop everything and go on vacation for three weeks and everyone just has to wait? This is a sad day.

    This is a harbinger of things to come when the Feds run our Healthcare. I hope we live through it!

    The senate is looking like a bunch of wealthy, out-of-touch orators whom don’t have a clue about what is going on in the real world. What in the world are they thinking? The world revolves around them…

    This has nothing to do with flood insurance or unemployment. Agree with them or not but some Republicans are trying to remind Congress that they pledged to pay for things out of the current budget without just borrowing more money from China to fund them. They are using things that you would think both parties can agree on…If Congress can’t find money to extend people’s unemployment from an already exisiting appropriation and all they can do is keep running up the debt we have a much bigger problem on our hands…it’s very unfortunate that real people’s lives are being affected but unless we get Federal spending under control the entire country is going to sink under the weight of the spiraling national debt.

    At least the Federal Government isn’t involved in health insurance!!! Oh… wait a minute.

    This is bad. Not speaking for my company whatsoever, this is horrific. Anyone that will be calling a WYO, please have patience with the customer service and underwriting. We are stunned just like everyone else.
