It is really hard to say one group should get help just because they grow our food and another group should not get anything. These people flooded in the mid west also choose to live in a flood plain and that is no differant than living below sea level in New Orleans. You still depend on a levee to protect your home. I am sure everyone flooded out had a chance to buy insurance to cover this loss; and if they choose not to buy it then why should I as Joe taxpayer have to bail them out. Everyone lives in some kind of natural disaster area. It could be river flooding; hurricaines; wild fires; earthquakes; ect. The list goes on and on. So what do we do; Help everyone everytime; or stand back and help no one. I kind of come down in the middle somewhere because I do not believe in bailing you out but I do believe in giving you a helping hand to get back on your feet when you have been kicked down.
I am willing to help anyone that is willing to help themselves and learn from their mistakes.
I think I will stop there because you really do not want to get me started because I live in the New Orleans area and have seen first hand the goverment owes me something and should take care of me croud.
