It's funny how people think they are getting a conservative. Look at federal spending under the previous administration. It's insane. In addition to setting a precedent for blindly handing out "free" money from the federal government.

my daughter and my two grandkids came over from pasadena just below the fire ,they were ordered to leave the house,watched the fire on tv until 4:am then the wind shifted away from their house possibly saving it. only then did we all go to sleep.the wind was intense,i live close to griffith park ,the wind reminded me of a small tornado i witnessed in my youth back in western nebraska in my 68 years i've been in california i never have seen destruction like this.
LOL because that has worked so well in the past. It's called the Articles of Confederation. Look it up.
Also lots of issues with " I am my brothers keeper." type of thinking. It theory great.... in practice not so much.
I agree that the government has gotten too handsy but some of that is our own doing, when individuals decide to F things up.
Kind of like drunk driving. Most people can drive just find after a few drinks. But some ahole killed someone else on the HW with a BA level of .08 and wham we all have to pay for it. That's how society works. We are constantly paying for the actions of a few in the name of, "good for all"
Best explanation I've seen for it.... "This person pisses off the people that piss me off." The rest are just talking points.
Don’t really care but the analogy you used in the end of your post is terrible. Terrible mode of thinking
Do you enjoy living in California? I was there two summers ago and thought it was beautiful. California gets a bad rap around these parts so I always wonder what actual Californians think about their state.
Ok. I can use lots of analogies but they all would have to do with Individuals dicking it up for others. Sorry but no society can function solely on the belief that everyone can take care of themselves. It's not reality.

Don't be hating. You had him on your team. But drove him right onto the winning team. Going to be a glorious 4 to 12 years. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.👈😌
LOL. Elon is on his own team and all for himself. He hitched a ride on the Trump train and took over as engineer. Going to be about as fun to watch as January 6th was.
Still clinging to Jan 6th. Funny stuff. Liberal tears are so salty and sweet. Like pineapple on pizza.😍😪

If people have home insurance why should they get my tax dollars too?
LOL. I guess if you were ok with Jan 6. Then more power to ya. I would think any American would be ashamed and embarrassed by that day. But then again I know who "your guy" is so I'm not surprised. And with this Im out of this convo before we both get Alcatrazed.
Are you talking about helping others with disaster relief? You do realize that not all people affected by disaster own homes right?
I don't know where all of the dollars go, but Im sure it's not just for replacing someone's home.
I have more of a problem with my tax dollars funding large corporate subsidies then I do helping a fellow American out who's experiencing a disaster not of their own doing.
I can't believe people in SoCal are watching their homes and businesses burn to the ground and some folks here are arguing politics.
I had a friend who had a basement get flooded and was eligible for FEMA “assistance”. After hours of paper work and months of waiting they reimbursed him about 2% of his loss.
Tax credits for wind towers is my pet peeve. They aren’t saving the environment or reducing carbon emissions when you consider the impacts of mining the rare earth materials for the generation equipment, energy and materials used in manufacturing, carbon fuels used in transportation and erection and the hundreds of gallon of oil it takes to lubricate the turbines every year.
All they are is a way to line the pockets of wealthy investors who get the tax credits. I’ll give a couple of guesses at who a few of those people are.
Wait till these dipshits find out the Jan 6 pipe bomb was an inside job....
The case sure went cold very quickly. That city is littered with facial recognition cameras. I suspect they know who it is but it doesn’t fit the narrative.
You can’t believe it? I totally expected it
Because people won't be able to get insurance at any price at some point. Companies will pull out, nobody will replace them. I don't think we want everyone moving away from all the coasts and cramming themselves into the middle of the country do we? ..and even then tornadoes can get ya.. I'm OK helping out our fellow Americans, it isn't their fault if mother nature throws a tantrum from time to time.....and don't we want people insured, chaos would reign if they weren't...parts of the country would look like a third world country if ins wasn't there ro bail people out after a chastrophic event. Families would be ruined. Homelessness thru the roof.
I did not say that.
I don't claim to have the perfect solution or all the anwers. I am however, suggesting its OK fo help out our fellow Americans in times of extreme need...a rising tide lifts all boats.
As a claim adjuster for the last 20 years, I see first hand people struggle after a loss..a loss they had nothing to do with sometimes. Take away tbe ability for them to he insured, America would go to complete and total shit, fast. You think it wom't affect you? Think again.
Teams. Lol
People like you stand for people, not values. These people flip flop what they believe in to make a buck. And people like you eat it up. It's funny to watch you slobber all over a person who is in this country illegally, who used to support the party you hate, and who has a transgender kid who he signed paperwork to become a different gender. Did I mention he runs an ev company, which you are normally against? You can't make this up.
