Mississippi River

Well, the foods are coming and it seems nyone near Mississippi is fucked.

From ABC News:

Near record-level cresting of the mighty Mississippi River and images of displaced families along its banks have revived criticism that U.S. taxpayers are unfairly burdened by the expense of accommodating and protecting Americans living in dangerous flood zones.

Since the devastating floods of 1927 and 1937, Congress has poured billions of dollars into a system of levees and spillways and subsidized flood insurance programs to help protect thousands of residents and businesses situated along the Mississippi.


So, what do you think?
Shuold tax payers pay for protecting those who have chosen to live in the danger zones?
