9. And yet......

Yes, terrible scenes of devastation and yet..... yet...... OK, I know this makes me a bad person but all I could think of watching these was..... yep, all those Florida representatives voting against disaster relief. From the top "leadership" of the state to the newest GQPers in Congress they downplayed and ignored this storm. They voted AGAINST disaster relief to a person! All of those homes built so close to the shoreline. What do you want to bet that they were heavily insured? How much of THAT cost will we all take on the chin so they can ignore the science and worse actively DENY the root causes?

It seems like every year we have to bail out Texas/Mississippi/Alabama/Florida etc. because they just can't stop building and rebuilding and re-rebuilding on the same plots of land. So what will be these states response? They will elect MORE GQPers and cut their taxes on the rich in their states even more. Guess who will be left footing the bill after NEXT years big storm?
