Really?

Go get some flood insurance? Apparently there's good reason why some didn't have it or were underinsured.

You didn't answer my question. What would constitute an adequate response from the federal government?

I don't know exactly but what's been done to date hasn't been enough IMO.

OK, but I guess since you say you're not sure, you're not suggesting the federal goverment rebuild the homes and businesses?

I'm not saying they need to rebuild everything to where it was previously, I'm just saying I think more could be done and the progress that has been made over the last 3 years probably isn't sufficient.

You're starting to sound like Barack Obama, incredibly vague.

Without properly reseaching the issue I'm not going to sit here and try to say that X and Y must be done. I'm not pretending to be an expert. Not that you are... I'm just saying.

Making an informed decision on this topic is just above Matty's pay grade, that's all.
