FEMA's insurance policies promote disaster

"Apparently, when it comes to helping out the damp and the rich, bipartisanship still flourishes in Washington.

"In the wake of Katrina, critics from across the political spectrum (Taxpayers for Common Sense, the National Wildlife Federation, the Competitive Enterprise Institute) are questioning why the federal government is in the high-risk insurance game, especially when better models for coastal development exist — models that don't destroy property, kill people or ruin lives."

FEMA is still trying to insure coastal development, which as quoted above has drawn together some unlikely allies in the NWF and CEI. Without space and coastal wetlands to protect us from the effects of monstrous hurricanes, we are doomed to have other Katrina-like disasters due to government subsidized insurance programs. Hurray for socialism for the rich!
