It's entirely relevant. Since:
1) NJ's damage is about double that of Florida's Catastrophic Fund.
2) NJ never gets hit by storms like this.
3) NJ's constitution basically ties the legislature's hands.
4) Slapping NJ with a big fat multiyear tax, after getting slammed by a massive hurricane, is kicking a man when he's down.
Florida HASN'T. They're short $12.5 billion, or about 43%. Their solution is to either go to the feds, or reduce the fund.
And again, they tried to get $29 million from the feds. Not exactly an indication that they're independent.
lol begging?
so you are just abandoning your first argument ok :shrug:
it was sarcasm and the answer is no i shouldn't because its illogical and unrealisticI was just answering your question
"SHould i complain that every state should be prepared for 1 foot of snow? "
Yes.
it was sarcasm and the answer is no i shouldn't because its illogical and unrealistic
weird you didnt answer any other questions? I wonder why?
WHere would all the money come from for EVERY state to be prepared for disasters this size of every nature and what would have to get cut because of it LOL
1.)You only asked one question.
2.) But to answer this one, the same place they already are. Taxes. NJ produces 450bn in wealth a year. If they want to be able to react to a disaster then they people should have no problem building up a fund. Its not the responsibility of Florida to pay for disasters that hit NJ. And vice versa.
3.)The federal govt doesnt even have this power to take money from one states and funnel it to another for natural disaster aid.
Its not about winning fans. Thats exactly my problem with Chrisite. How did he go from taking on unions to begging for disaster aid?
Fun fact, the GDP of New Jersey is 450 billion. The costs of Sandy cleanup were 40billion, and the federal govt has given them 1.8bn already. Surely NJ can afford to cleanup after itself.
And in which fantasy world did that happen?He sure as hell didn't take on unions for his state when the unions demanded that assistance from other regions be refused to not interfere with union jobs....
1.) no i did not, i asked more you simply you simply skipped over them.
2.) this doesnt answer the question at all LMAO
so your suggestion is along with everything we already pay for you want a flood, major storm(hurricane/tornado), earthquake, weather (rare snow or heavy rain), wildfire, meteor, terrorist, industrial disaster, biological outbreak tax and everything else that has happened somewhere tax?
Like i said totally void of reality and unrealistic.
where does all this money come from and what do we cut?
3.) the feds job is to protect the people and thier rights, im fine with it :shrug:
whats the alternative, to say **** em? lol
The job of the federal govt is to protect us from invasion, not nature.
there you go again, not answering questions LOL
I dont feel like theres any more to say.
It is empowered to do both. It's not like hurricanes care about state lines.The job of the federal govt is to protect us from invasion, not nature.
thats what i thought LMAO
FAIL

I said good day!
Section 8, Article 1: General welfare clause.Show me where insuring peoples houses against nature is in the constitution.
This mentality right here is exactly why Republicans lost the last election. And if they do not change their attitude, it will continue costing them elections.Christie has no chance of obtaining the Republican nomination, which is reasonable given his open declaration of hatred of all Republican officials and his ongoing campaigning for Obama. For half a year, Christie has been a militant supporter of Democrats and bitter attacker of Republicans. There certainly are reasons for Democrats to love him, but in general only enemies love a backstabber.
