Frank McEnulty News - spring is in the air
With the spring, we here in Virginia tornadoes and floods in Ohio. It will not be too long before politicians in Washington is to fly in the affected areas to distribute for your money. In an election year like this one, trying to free advertising and the ability to Pander rustling vote of disaster with the help of easy money is a strong temptation for each politician to ignore.
It is true that no person or municipality can not fully in preparation for major natural disasters, and we need the help of local authorities, officials and federal governments to help things even more normal, there is a better way to funding for these efforts.
But it has long been my belief that politicians secret love natural disasters. They are a terrible tragedy, but the prospect of great opportunity for politicians to show that care and to throw our money, finally, as it is not.
For years, I asked if this is not a rational and organized response on natural disasters and other catastrophes that the current system reaction of politicians short Swooping in and doling out our money in an attempt to show that they are compassionate and should be re-elected.
If you have property, it is your responsibility to make sure you have good insurance coverage to ensure that if something would happen tragic, you have coverage for the reconstruction of your house. Unfortunately, I think too many people start from the premise that government is for them to disaster, in order not to worry about.
In this sense, as President, I have to propose a national disaster, the health insurance work as follows:
1 It would be a specific set of disasters, insurance. For example, the policy coverage of losses from earthquakes, floods, cyclones and tornadoes.
2 Man and cities would have to decide 5 years to include in the program. After 5 years of transitional period was finished, if you do not have the assurance that it would no longer be any federal assistance for owners in case of natural disaster.
3 The policy would be through selling insurance, such as earthquake coverage is currently sold in California.
4 Nobody compelled to buy, but I would like that, as fire insurance, that any person who has a mortgage on their house would be obliged to inform its lenders, when they lived in an area where there were potential these major disasters. It would also be prudent tax for public bodies for their properties as well.
5 reasonable price would be held by two important facts. That would be a large number of owners in the pool would spread the risk. The federal government could subsidize the coverage - the subsidy, which is not the case every year in the borrowing of the disaster.
