Cut the budget increase in defense and spend a few more billions in helping those people. God dammit, in case of natural disaster it is the duty of the state to help out. People NEED to look for one another. The state uses YOUR money or YOUR debt to help YOU, the citizen, just not you directly, but indirectly. That being said, I think the money will be even more wisely used if the 60bil $ will be given to the municipalities who were affected, instead of having the federal government regulate the money which will get wasted in the bureaucracy.
So are we just going to get rid of flood insurance then?
But I think more limited aid should be provided in the form of food, water, temporary shelter, etc etc. And I think the government should invest money in making building more flood resistant and such.
