And it goes beyond the 9/11 fund. People will get new homes built there using Federal money. If a flood happens here (SE Texas), neither the government nor my insurance will help me out. (I'm not complaining...I'm thankful I don't live in Florida...It is just an interesting dilemma, one which is usually solved by the government providing said services to everyone rather than cut back on anything.)

It is a sensitive topic because one would likely be accused of being insensitive for bringing it up. The tragedy lottery mentality will be hard to remove from the list of entitlements now. Didn't some OK City victims press up to the trough after 9/11 for a share? I remember Rush discussing this also sometime back. Unfortunately this is so true.
