Gotta love the "cut, cut, cut" mentality, then when the crap hits the fan, turn towards the federal government to bail you out... The audacity of some of our politicians amazes me.

So for the past 5 years they saved money by not paying for enough public safety. Now they have lost their homes and the contents from fire or from looting. Even after the insurance payments, they will have spent more by the time all is said and done....and then the premiums will go up.
