Tough guy Michael Bloomberg who boasts about having a bigger army than France is down in the swamps of Washington DC begging for your money to repair his fucked up city. Maybe he should lay off some 32 ounce soda inspectors to save some dough. Maybe he can layoff some of the thousands of NYPD that can’t shoot straight. Maybe he should raise taxes on anyone stupid enough to live in NYC.
But that’s not how liberal douchebags roll. They want someone else to pay their bills. This asshole spent his money on liberal do-gooder shit and anti-terrorist crap for the last decade. The assholes who’ve run NYC for decades could have spent their money preparing for a flood that was always going to come. They spent nothing on preparation. Now these scumbags want the American taxpayer to take it up the ass for their malfeasance. Bull fucking shit. Bloomberg can blow me.
As the worthless dimwits in Washington DC debate miniscule budget cuts, tough guys Bloomberg and Christie are begging for $79 billion of your tax dollars so they can rebuild in the same fucking places that just flooded. They will rebuild in the exact places that they know will be flooded again. Our beloved FEMA has only $5 billion in the coffers. Why should people in Nebraska or Iowa pay for douchebags in NYC and NJ to rebuild their mansion on the beach, 50 yards from the ocean? They shouldn’t. Let the people of NJ and NYC decide how to fund their idiocracy. They chose to live in areas that have flooded in the past and will flood in the future.
I’m sick and tired of the victim psychology that permeates this country. Everyone’s a victim. It’s never their fault. They must be saved. Tough shit. Buy insurance. Don’t live in a flood zone. Prepare for a rainy day. Bloomberg and Christie can kiss my fat ass.
NY mayor seeks more disaster aid for Sandy victims
By ANDREW MIGA
Associated Press
Wednesday, November 28,2012
WASHINGTON — New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg appealed to congressional leaders Wednesday for quick action on providing tens of billions of dollars in new federal aid to help his city and state and others recover from Superstorm Sandy but was told it might be some time before it’s forthcoming — and it likely won’t be all at once.
Bloomberg met with more than a half-dozen lawmakers, including several who chair or sit on committees controlling the government’s purse strings, as well and both parties’ leaders in the House and Senate.
“Hurricane recovery is not a partisan issue,” he told reporters at a news conference in between the meetings. “We have to bring together both sides in Washington.”
New York state alone is seeking $42 billion in additional federal aid. New Jersey is seeking federal aid to cover most of the nearly $37 billion cost for recovery and rebuilding.
So far about $2 billion in federal funds — about half for direct assistance to individuals — have been provided to the two most heavily damaged states and nine others in the storm’s path. There’s about $5 billion left in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief fund, but last year’s budget agreement permits President Barack Obama to seek another $5.4 billion without hitting a ceiling on spending.
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a member of the Appropriations Committee and the top Republican on the Homeland Security Committee that oversees disaster relief, struck a skeptical note after her meeting with the mayor.
“It’s going to be a hard sell,” she said, given Congress’s preoccupation with the fiscal cliff crisis and tight budget restraints. Reflecting a line taken in the past by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan and other fiscal conservatives, she said at least some of the new spending for Sandy relief and rebuilding should be offset by spending cuts in other government programs.
“Otherwise it’s just going to be added to the debt and that makes it even more difficult for us to deal with the fiscal challenges,” she said.
Collins said she needs to see more detailed numbers on damages before deciding on how much Sandy aid is needed. But she said New York’s request is “reasonable” if the damages can be documented and added that state and city officials have not tried to exaggerate the damages, as she claims happened with Hurricane Katrina seven years ago.
Bloomberg and Schumer said they were pressing White House officials for as much money as possible, as soon as possible, but they didn’t know what amount Obama will seek. Whatever it is, the request could get tied up in the talks aimed at averting the fiscal cliff — a $6 trillion combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts — beginning in January.
“There’s no doubt this is going to be a hard fight,” said Schumer. “We have a Congress that is decidedly less friendly to disaster aid than any in 100 years. We’re in very strenuous negotiations over the fiscal cliff. We know money is short in Washington, just as it is in New York.”
Schumer said he expects the fight for Sandy money to drag on for months and that several emergency spending bills will be needed. State officials worry that Congress’s desire to satisfy the hunger for aid will fade as time wears on.
“So far we believe our colleagues have been very receptive,” said Schumer. “But there’s a long road to go and there are going to be many pitfalls in the way, particularly given the climate in Washington and the shortage in money.”
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Wednesday that it’s up to New Jersey’s congressional delegation — made up of an equal number of Republicans and Democrats — to fight for the $37 billion in additional aid that he’s seeking. He said he and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo have agreed not to compete with one another for federal funds.
“We’re not going to allow any political forces in Washington, D.C., to divide and conquer us,” Christie said. “We going to go down there as a team, we’re going to work together and advocate for the numbers we put forward.”
States other than New York and New Jersey now getting federal aid for Sandy are West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, New Hampshire, Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, as well as the District of Columbia.

A few years ago a thunderstorm blew a tree over and it crushed my new storage shed and hit the roof over the master bedroom punching a hole in it. The house was in escrow then too! There was no FEMA , no Red Cross, just me and my insurance company who gave me the happy news that removing the tree was my problem, my policy only covered the damage to the house and since my new Rubbermaid storage shed was not a ‘structure’ it too was not covered.
Of course, had this been a hurricane and hundreds or thousands of homes similarly damaged my house would have been part of disaster area and eligible for Federal loans, grants and lord only knows what else but it was just my house and maybe a few others that were damaged so it was also my problem. Now Federal help is obviously needed when public infrastructure is heavily damaged so people can make repairs to their property. Obviously if the road to my house was impassable I would want the county, state or Federal government to do what was necessary so I could get the tree people in to remove the tree and allow workers to fix my roof. I would also need to go back to Lowe’s and buy another shed so my buyers would, hopefully, not back out on the deal ( they didn’t).

Having been recently in a flood zone here in my town in the UK I can have some sympathy for your rant. For the last 5 years I have been telling people about climate change and peak oil and running schemes and giving talks to educate people on the matters (barely attended). We live between two rivers and it has never flooded since we had the levies put in. My flood map was poo pooed by the town council . On Tuesday we got the shit flooded out of us ( I didn’t as I live on high ground). All I can say is the very last thing you wan’t to be doing when your community is flooded is wondering around saying I TOLD YOU SO!. Instead I was at the rescue centre helping out and have been helping with the clear up. The desire to say I told you so kind of dissappears when you see shell shocked grannies in tears when their wedding album has been destroyed by flood water.

There already is a fairly substantial Federal subsidy in place as flood insurance is a federal insurance program and, as far as I can tell, most of the damage was storm surge not wind, though I realize quite a few homes were damaged by falling trees. It will be interesting to see how the mortgage and insurance industry react to Irene and Sandy in the Mid Altantic states. While states north of Cape Hatteras may not be at risk of 125mph plus winds lenders and insurers may want to make wind insurance mandatory because the mid atlantic is more heavily wooded along the coast than Gulf and south Atlantic states and even weaker hurricanes can still do a lot of wind damage to homes not built to withstand them
If what has happened along the gulf coast is any guide, this could get very expensive. Wind insurance is not cheap and there is no federally subsidized insurance program available.

Somewhere out in the beach communities of Queens, a wealthy construction contractor from Brooklyn bought a 1950ish wood-framed, single-story beach home for $1.3 million, knocked it down, and built a two-story concrete block and masonry McMansion with no basement and 8-foot reinforced concrete pilings to support the structure. The community was up in arms about this so-called eyesore and tried to pass zoning legislation to block the construction, but he was able to beat the zoning vote to the punch, and the project went through.
He knew exactly what he was doing. After Sandy, it was the only home for blocks and blocks to have survived the winds and storm surge completely intact with minimal damage. The neighbors aren’t so hostile anymore when they look at that lone survivor.

BOO HOO HOO
The reward for surviving Sandy may be higher taxes
By WAYNE PARRY, AP
Thu Nov 29, 3:01 PM UTC
Superstorm Sandy may have one more nasty surprise still to come: higher taxes.
The math is simple and cruel. The storm left fewer properties standing, often wrecking waterfront communities that paid the highest taxes because of the desirability of living near the water.
Unless shore towns from Rhode Island to New Jersey get a big influx of aid from the state and federal governments, which are themselves strapped for cash, they will have no choice but to raise taxes on homes and businesses that survived to make up for the loss. Even with federal reimbursement of 75 percent, the towns — many of which were already struggling before the storm — could still be on the hook for tens of millions of dollars.
“Hopefully taxes won’t go up; we all have individual bills that we’re going to have to worry about,” said Ralph Isaacs, a 71-year-old retired teacher whose home in Long Beach, N.Y., was flooded with 18 inches of water, knocking out the electricity and heat and forcing him and his wife into a rented recreational vehicle for 17 days. “We’re pretty sure the insurance money is not going to cover everything.”
Toms River, where 5,000 residents are still out of their homes, recently passed a $35 million emergency appropriation; debris removal alone is costing it $1 million a week. The township’s Ortley Beach section, where property values and taxes were highest, saw 225 homes destroyed. Administrator Paul Shives asked state officials this week for three to five years of extra state aid.
Right now, he said, it is impossible for towns like his to even consider formulating a budget without knowing how much tax money will be coming in. Shore towns especially are expecting a wave of tax appeals from storm-damaged or destroyed homes that will lower the towns’ tax bases, though that doesn’t appear to have begun in earnest yet.
The realities have touched off an intense push to get the federal government to assume the largest share of the cost. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo this week upped his state’s reimbursement request from $30 billion to $42 billion; New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie asked Wednesday for $36.8 billion.
Cuomo said most of the recovery should be paid for by the federal government.
“To try to finance (recovery costs) through taxes would incapacitate this state,” said Cuomo, who noted the cost of repairing just one subway station in lower Manhattan will be $600 million.
Christie — who this week announced his campaign for a second term amid high poll ratings for his handling of the storm and who is considered a leading potential Republican presidential candidate in 2016 — has told residents in storm-damaged areas to expect to pay higher taxes. This month, he told communities they can exempt storm recovery costs from a state-imposed 2 percent limit on property tax increases.
“You know, it’s got to be paid for,” said Christie, whose constituents already pay among the highest property taxes in the nation. “There’s no magic money tree. But I think most people’s towns will recognize that if they believe that the money is being spent reasonably and responsibly to rebuild their towns, they’ll be happy to do it.”
Vinny Curtain, whose Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., home was damaged by flooding, agreed — reluctantly.
“Every town up and down from Long Island, Staten Island to Long Beach Island is dealing with this,” he said. “They’re all going to face the same problem. If spending continues — and it has to — and the tax base goes down, you’ve got to make it up from somewhere. It’s got to be paid for. It’s definitely a concern.”
With local towns reeling and state governments equally cash-strapped, many are looking to the federal government to make things right through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the arm of government that has paid out billions in disaster recovery funds for Midwestern floods, tornadoes and Hurricane Katrina, among others.
But politically, Sandy couldn’t have come at a worse time, with Republicans and Democrats locked in a bitter standoff over spending and taxes as a series of painful automatic tax increases and spending cuts known as the “fiscal cliff” looms if lawmakers can’t agree on a deficit reduction plan. Lawmakers from states hit hard by Sandy are eager for the White House to make its emergency request to Congress for more Sandy money.
A new disaster aid funding plan was put in place by last year’s budget agreement that permits President Barack Obama to seek another $5.4 billion in disaster aid — on top of $7.1 billion approved as part of a six-month government funding bill — without breaking budget limits. Lawmakers are eager to at least obtain the $5.4 billion during Congress’ lame duck session. It’s more likely any additional funds would come next year.
There’s also a possibility that more Sandy funding could get wrapped into a broader budget deal as part of the fiscal cliff talks.
On Wednesday, FEMA approved $8.3 million in debris removal funding for four New Jersey municipalities, and New Jersey’s state government got $31.1 million for feeding and housing rescue and utility workers after the storm.
On New York’s Long Island, Long Beach City Manager Jack Schnirman said the community already took steps this year to reduce a $10.25 million deficit from its $87 million annual budget. The city workforce was cut by 10 percent, including five firefighters from a 35-member force. The city also imposed a three-year tax surcharge on all homeowners to close the deficit.
That puts the city in no position to ask taxpayers to cover the costs of Sandy, which he estimated at $200 million. Moody’s Investor Service says after FEMA reimbursements, the city could be left with a bill of as much as $25 million. Schnirman said he is still seeking ways for other federal or state money to cover that cost.
“We can’t go back to our taxpayers,” he said. “That’s not a viable option.”
Municipal governments are already doing the calculations — and not liking the answers. On the eastern half of Long Island, Suffolk County officials say Sandy has cost an estimated $70 million for debris removal and beach and road repairs, as well as police overtime. A county official estimated that after FEMA reimbursements, the county could be on the hook for $50 million but didn’t anticipate having to raise taxes.
Westerly was the Rhode Island town hardest hit by the storm. Town Manager Steven Hartford said it has already paid $400,000 for storm-related repairs and sand removal; the total cost is likely to reach $3.5 million before FEMA reimbursements.
“If we spend between $3 million and $4 million, even if we hit a grand slam and get 75 percent of that reimbursed, we’re still out a million dollars,” Hartford said.
Likewise, in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., Mayor Vincent Barrella is bracing for a higher tax rate in a town that has already approved $2.4 million for emergency cleanup. It approved more than $1 million in spending this week for boardwalk repairs, sand removal, replacing police cars destroyed in the storm, a front-end loader and other Sandy-related costs.
“This is stuff you have to do,” Barrella said. “You have to haul away the debris, you have to pick up the downed trees; you can’t just leave the sand in the middle of the street.”

DC to NE – Drop Dead!
Submitted by Bruce Krasting
Man is this bad timing. If granted, the cost to the Feds would be reflected in the 2013 budget. Good-bye to any hope of improvement in the overall deficit picture if this nut has to be paid. The $80b that has been requested is more than the revenue from a reversal of the +$250k Bush tax cut. It comes to $530 for every worker in America.
The 2011 Budget Control Act limits annual payments of disaster relief to $11B. So the $80B is going to require a special spending bill. That’s not going to be easy to achieve in Washington with all the Cliff/money issues that are now on the table.
NY’s big Democratic Senator, Chuck Schumer is very much in the middle of this. He knows he has problems with this request. From The Hill (Link).
“There is no doubt this is going to be a hard fight. It comes in the middle of strenuous negotiations around the fiscal cliff.”
Schumer is a weasel; he also had this to say about the process of getting the necessary legislation passed:
I am working to keep the quest for Sandy aid separate from the talks and to preserve a tradition of not offsetting disaster relief.
Separate? How can you keep $80B separate? The issue of not offsetting the cost of a disaster by reducing other spending is not going to come easy. Some Republicans are going to insist that there be cuts in the budget to offset a big portion of the Sandy clean up. An aide for Eric Cantor chimed in with this:
Cantor has made clear that needs beyond the $11 billion allotted by the Budget Control Act will be properly considered.
Properly considered? That is Washington speak for, “No way in Hell”.
There is an element of this that is going to prove difficult for the NE legislators. Why are the costs of Sandy so high? Answer:
Schumer wants to do away with limits such as a $31,000-per-home cap on repairs because of high home prices and expenses in the New York area.
Ah! That explains it. The numbers are big because of expensive beachfront homes. This is not going to sell very well, nor should it.
I’m looking for a big fight over this money, and I think it has to be part of the Fiscal Cliff discussions. It is too big a number to sweep under the carpet. There is the broader issue of what really should be the role of the Federal Government when weather turns bad. It’s way past time for a discussion of the costs of cleaning up properties that are in storms way. The folks who don’t live on ocean water, are subsidizing everyone who does.

Poorer Nations Demand More Aid to Deal with Climate Change
Negotiations at climate talks indicate $100 billion a year is not nearly enough
By Lisa Friedman and ClimateWire
—SNIP—
Money took center stage in Doha, Qatar, yesterday as vulnerable countries declared that $100 billion annually by 2020 is insufficient to protect them from the impacts of climate change.
Speaking on the second day of U.N. climate change negotiations, diplomats from Malawi and Zimbabwe demanded more transparency from developed countries claiming to deliver money. And, they said, a clear blueprint for ramping up aid between 2013 and 2020 is a must.
“This climate finance road map will be required. … It is a precondition for any successful outcome in Doha,” said Evans Njewa of Malawi, who is coordinating finance issues for least-developed nations.
Developed countries say they have fulfilled an obligation to deliver $30 billion to poor nations over the past three years. Meanwhile, countries are building up a Green Climate Fund to deliver the next promise: about $100 billion annually in public and private dollars for climate aid.
But those middle years remain undefined, and some activists say they fear countries will fall off the climate finance cliff without formal obligations to provide a steady increase of money throughout the decade.

No their choice is to cut their coat to the cloth they have. The towns along the Jersey shore might want to call up the county managers along the Mississippi coast and ask how they dealt with the loss of property tax revenue as people found they could not afford to rebuild and or moved away.
Atlantic City might get some useful advice from Biloxi on how coped with the destruction of their gaming industry. The only thing unique about Sandy is that it happened where it hadn’t before.

As if reading the political shakedown the Northeast is trying to pull on the federal budget isn’t bad enough, TPC comes along and posts an article on the $100 billion dollar global shakedown that the Third World is trying to pull through the avenue of “climate change.”
Does anyone really believe that the likes of Malawi and Zimbabwe will really use their slice of the $100 billion pie to reduce emissions from their coal-fired power plants? Or will most of it end up in the Swiss bank accounts of people like Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe?
Here in the U.S., this type of shakedown takes on a different hue. Senator Chuckie Schumer of New York lobbies hard for a multi-billion federal payout to repair Hurricane Sandy damage. Chuckie wins and gets most of what he wants, most of which goes to powerful labor unions in New York to “rebuild” those hard-hit communities at something on the order of $250-300 per hour after you factor in the graft, corruption, bribery, and outright theft of building materials. The money awarded to New York runs out, and Chuckie asks for supplemental relief. Rinse. Repeat.

“TPC comes along and posts an article on the $100 billion dollar global shakedown that the Third World is trying to pull through the avenue of “climate change.””

Middle & lower income people live along the flood zone, not on a barrier island. Corporate media doesn’t show you what’s really going on. You need to get the hell out to the disaster areas and find out for yourself & help.

The people of NJ and NY can pay for their cleanup. Nothing is free in this life and it’s not fair. Tough shit. Suck it up.
