To Offtheback: Unions have been great for G.M.; Chrysler; and Ford. Just ask Toyota, Honda,; etc.

What makes it high is law abiding citizens having to pick up the tab for irresponsible people''''s messes.

You tell only part of the story. Tha true cost of living is business that refuses to pay a decent wage for a fair days work only to pad up the botton line in the billions, line the pockets of the top one percent of the population. How much is enough? I am not talking about communisim here just equity. Workers unions did not appear in a vacume.

Hungry1968,
I''m referring to homeowners in flood prone areas that should have flood insurance as well as homeowners storm insurance. The cost of living is high in the US. What makes it high is law abiding citizens having to pick up the tab for irresponsible people''s messes.

A seaport is a muscle of a nation. Public housing is an infection.

You, sir, are an infection unto mankind. Care for your fellow man and you in turn will be cared for. Care not at your own peril. The human race is not long for thi earth. She grows weary of us and will soon shake us off like the bad case of flees we are.

Ignorant Christians, that vote for ignorant politicians, for ignorant reasons, deserve ignorant leaders, that make ignorant decisions.

Define ignorant. They got away with bilking the American people out of untold Billions for themselves and their friends. Pretty shrewed I''d say.

We must make sure that there is no business or commercial activity in these areas. The more people on welfare, the more democrat votes.

[offtheback]

I would like to see a very complete aduit of where all the money went and just who it was given to.

The money went to the same place the billions in Icrack went. Just take a look where the polis end up when they leave office. With nice cush jobs that do nothing with the co''s. they gave the money to.

At least this is not Louisiana (for now).

Individual housing is the responsibility of the individual who should maintain adequate insurance. A seaport is a muscle of a nation. Public housing is an infection.

When you refer to "adequate insurance", are you talking about the people who had hurricane insurance, but were denied coverage by their carriers because the "storm surge" was considered part of a flood, and not part of the hurricane that their hurricane insurance should have covered?

Or are you talking about the people who had hurricane insurance, but were denied coverage by their carriers because the "high winds" weren''t considered as part of the hurricane that their hurricane insurance should have covered?
