To me if they didn't have enough insurance, for whatever reason, then the blame lays at their feet. If the bank told them they don't need it then sorry but I don't trust a bank to give me advice on flooding. The mentality that it was someone elses fault that they didn't have insurance or enough of it is a mentality that is dangerous. It is a perpetuation of a treand in our nation to pass the buck whenever the going gets tough. I understand that it may seem reasonable that the bank would give them the straight dope but to em those people made dumb decisions. Does that mean I have no compassion for them? NO. Does it mean I don't think we shoudl help them? No. Does it mean I don't think every American tax payer should have to pony up a bunch of money to help them rebuild in a place likely to face similar disasters in the future? You bet.
