let's mention all the people that have expensive vacation homes right on the Florida beaches facing the hurricanes and are rebuilt from scratch by tax dollars once every two years!
I'm missing something here. What taxpayer money is use to rebuild these houses every two years. Where was it last year when my roof came off. Maybe they forgot about me and every body I know because we had the insurance that every lender requires you to have before they give you money to buy the house in the first place.
Of the people I know that recieved FEMA money it was for emergency supplies in the wake of unprecedented storms where people were out of power for extended periods of time, which had never happened before, and for the expenses that came from loosing supplies due to the power being out for an extended perod of time, which had never happened before.
It also helped with the multiple deductibles that people had to pay for every storm repair, which had never happened before
