One family uses pool to save houses in cali

The reality is you’re going to need the government more than anyone else. When you become sick the government will take care of you because of people like me @DeeDave who don’t punish the weak minded just because they were wrong.
I wouldn't sweat CocksRule.

It's like the old videos of people holding up signs telling the government to stay out of their Medicare. LOL - 100% morons.

It's mostly jealously. If you actually graduated from college, he's mad at you. It's funny.

You'd miss a bright flashlight in a pitch black cave.

Since Hurricane Hugo hit in 1989, more than 40 beach renourishment projects have been launched in the state, costing federal and state taxpayers over $300 million. For many years, the efforts have not been fully funded by state representatives even though they have known this was needed, relying solely on funds from federal taxpayers. State leaders have also failed to take action to prevent homes from being built in areas prone to severe erosion, or flooding guaranteeing that future funding will be needed when the state experiences storms and further erosion."

Louisiana (Florida too) keeps taking and asking for federal tax dollars for flood and coastal areas - and keeps letting people build there- only to have to rebuild and ask for federal tax money to do it- year after year after year.

hypocrite.

When they stop insuring and bailing people out, people will stop building.

Any parallels with the disastrous leadership and policy in CA (and probably corruption) is just another salary cap moment for Gomer.

Nothing to see here but two guys who have been wrong about almost everything for years on end, high-fiving over their Humanities Degree which has been collecting dust for decades.

History is going to look back at this time period and be amazed that people convinced themselves of pizzagate, Michelle Obama being a dude, and vaccines causing autism. But those same people find it controversial to say that people sitting on their couch aren’t fire suppression experts.

Wild.

Even wilder living through it

I had a lady try to convince me Pizza-Gate was real just this past week- and that "they" even got to Trump and he helped cover it up when he got into office.

I listened and explained that I was "all ears" if she had any evidence she could provide. I would have been glad to consider it and examine it. She didn't have any evidence to add except telling me she believed it.

Sometimes you have to chalk people up to being nuts- as you do with some on here - and move on.

The problem is back in this day people who talked like that or like Trump does on Twitter, you used to be able to chalk it up to your crazy uncle or aunt with a few felonies and a prescription pill addiction.

Now those crazies are the POTUS and your average Republican voter.

My sister is a nurse supervisor. She had a mom of a patient back when the hurricane was supposed to hit Florida back this past Fall tell her that the government was steering it into Florida to screw up people voting. My sister assumed this was somehow supposed to be about Trump. It wasn't.

My sister absolutely loved this lady's child. That's why she listened to the mom patiently and never responded to her because she feels so sorry for her child and she didn't want to add to any misery.

When the storm mostly missed damaging Florida and hit into upstate South Carolina and western North Carolina she said that the mom claimed the government missed their target, who was supposedly Ron DeSantis- and that they wanted him out of office but had missed with their ability to steer the hurricane and screw up voting for him.

Now, anyone that follows politics a bit knows Ron DeSantis wasn't up for reelection so this theory was dumber than anything possibly could be- but this "mom" thought he was on the ballot for reelection - and had the facts so screwed up it wasn't worth even arguing about.

Those people are out there. Avoid them at all costs. Don't do business with them. Don't be friends. Don't engage.

in fairness, Trump wasn't running around talking about Pizza-gate. Some of his extreme supporters were. But he wasn't.

Now, I do agree that everyone's crazy uncle seems to be the new standard and we hear from those folks an awful lot.

Trump, through this over the top bragging and never apologizing for anything- has led some people to cast a God-like belief onto him. (For most people, they can't stand someone that acts like that- brags all the time- would never apologize for anything at all, But Trump has always had an exemption from them)

Let's be honest, most people can't brag about grabbing a woman's genitals and get away with it - with people cheering them on. Imagine if Trump had bragged about grabbing your wife's crotch or bragged about grabbing your 20 year old daugther's genitals... - You'd explode in rage. You'd want to break any man's face that did such a thing and bragged about it. But with Trump, it has made people like him more - as long as he wouldn't do that to their own loved one.

So many people are looking for a messiah type person to "save them" and for some reason, a lot of people that would have never dreamed of putting a politician into such a perch have done so now. Their faith is now in a politician.

That's also coupled with declining church attendance in the United States and some have speculated that people of all stripes have turned to politicians to fill that role in their lives.

Deep State/Blackrock's evil ways will be exposed.

Ukraine, maybe Maui, maybe LA, etc. -- This isn't their first rodeo and Biden/Obama were stooges for their evil ways. They have been compensated handsomely to be those stooges.

Obama was a public servant his entire life and now has a net income estimated b/t $200-$300 million.

How does that work?

The Clintons were lifelong public servants with a $225K salary. The started a charity and are now worth over $500 million.

How does that work?

The mentally unfit might need to ask those questions before they concern themselves with self-made individuals in the new administration.

Why would Newsom have banned these offers if it was a highly organized plot by the democrats?

I know you don't take this stuff seriously. LOL. It's so stupid- and only idiots beyond help actually promote it.

and you notice- the only people they ever accuse are the people they personally hate- who of course their own favorites are always innocent. LOL

This coming from the same guy who has egg all over his face from the previous 4 years of labeling things "conspiracy theories."

I'm not sure how you can even see to drive, Gomer.

You represent foolish pawn in their chess game.

It's the opposite.

South Carolina is the 6th most federal dependent state in terms of residents dependent on money from the federal government.

California is 46th.

South Carolina state government is the 33rd most dependent on federal revenue. California's is 48th.

The average rank for red states is 20th. The average rank for blue states is 30th.

South Carolina is much more reliant on tax money from the federal government than is California.
Not sure where your numbers came from, but a quick Google search and this is the first article that popped up.

Which states received the most money from the federal government?

Federal funding comes through several overlapping programs targeting state and local governments. The proportion of state revenues attributable to federal aid is determined by combining the funding received by both state and local institutions.

The five states that received the most federal aid were:

  • California ($162.9 billion)
  • New York ($110.2 billion)
  • Texas ($105.8 billion)
  • Florida ($58.8 billion)
  • Pennsylvania ($57.1 billion)
  • Now, perhaps if you use a per capita equation, it may be different obviously but in my book per capita equations are junk as if you had a population of 1000 and receives a 1000 dollars from the gov, you'd probably be listed as the #1 tax leach for money. When in actuality, you got peanuts compared to high population areas.
 
You've never read articles from people saying that it's time to stop allowing people to build in areas that are prone to flooding in hurricanes or along coastal areas?

Are you stuck in an elevator with no access to anything?

Florida, Louisiana and Texas are red states and famous for allowing people to build in areas that are repeatedly damaged by hurricanes and I've never seen a Democrat yet prevent them from getting aid for those areas- even though right wing politicians keep letting them build where ever they hell they want- with their hands out as soon as there is a hurricane or flooding.

Hypocrite.
Those people also pay high insurance premiums

I think Cali's numbers you posed in this search are probably a little low in terms of what they receive from the federal government. However...

California is a donor state- meaning they pay more to the federal government in fed taxes that they receive. California sends (pays) about $369 billion dollars a year to the federal government.

States like South Carolina are "taker" states- meaning they receive more money for their state budget than they pay the federal government in taxes.

CA is blessed with in-built revenue sources (Tourism, Hollywood, Disneyland, Napa, etc.) due to the way the US was carved up.

It has no bearing on that fact that the state is completely mismanaged by the criminals and fools in charge.

If it was run even half-way properly, residents wouldn't pay a dime in state income taxes just like Florida.

Not necessarily.

Some don't have insurance- or buy polices in the unregulated insurance market.

When these states like Florida, Louisiana and others allow people keep building in these areas that are prone to disaster, everyone pays.

which means when they lose their homes in a flood or hurricane, the town/county/state has to pay to come in and clean up the mess and move the debris out because the lack of insurance means there is no coverage to pay for debris removal.
