re: High credit score = no assistance from FEMA

I agree simply because the majority of people who will receive FEMA money probably pay little to no taxes.

This may be a very valid statement. If you pay little to no taxes, either

1) You are pretty poor and probably have difficulty actually affording flood insurance

2) You are getting paid under the table and pay no tax, in which case, screw you.

What my issue, and others, is people that perfectly could afford flood insurance, instead chose to spend that money on other things, and now, want government to bail them out. And when government makes an attempt at that, they complain about the attempt. And, tomorrow, those people will complain about other companies and/or indivduals getting bailed out, due to decisions they made that rolled snake eyes.

When I lived in Katy, we were 48 feet elevation. No natural waterways anywhere near us. Three times in 6 years, the street flooded, twice to the sidewalk and once about halfway up our lawn. I paid $350/yr for 6 years for flood insurance. Maybe I wasted $2100, however, I slept soundly those nights.
