How Will We Pay For This Massive Hurricane and Tropical Storm in Texas?

[Camp]

How the heck are we going to pay for the powerful Hurricane and tropical storm that has devasted Texas and may cause even more damage in neighboring states? There have been some huge numbers being discussed, but how will we know until it is all over? How will the expenses effect the budget, taxes, etc.?

Hurricanes are free. They come whether you pay for them or not.

Stop funding non-Americans

Most of the tab will be picked up by insurance companies.

Isn`t Texas one of the states that wanted to secede because we had a black president? Too bad they didn`t.

Simple solution in paying for Harvey, cut welfare money from minorities and use it towards the rebuilding process.

It will be sucked out of the rest of us just like everything else. These are our peeps and we have to do this.

You mean a state which is full of Republicans who think healthcare should all be about insurance? Shouldn't Texas just get the money from their insurance?

How about just kill minorities, and then sell their meat and their bones, or use them for medical experiments and things like that, and use that money to give to rich Texans so that they can drive through in another large gas guzzling 4x4 and see the damage for themselves, and then go home and put on a big party to raise money for the poor people, and then funnel it back into their own pockets?

I mean, it's the American way.

If people are so irresponsible that they live in these dangerous areas then that is their business. They are free to do so but not at my Goddam expense dammit. Its UnAmerican.

now is simply the time to extend all the resources that the people of houston and texas needs .....the money debate can begin later...

It will be paid for collectively. Social action is in any country's interests.

Where would all the blacks and wetbacks have gone if they had?

Isn't the are where Harvey is doing the most damage Sheila Jackson Lee's district? Why isn't she doing anything to help?

One of the hardest hit areas is the 18th District of Texas represented by Sheila Jackson Lee (D - Houston). It has a greater than 1 in 5 use of food stamps. Plenty of money.
