As we plunge deeper and deeper into the Greek Alphabet we have to wonder how can FEMA pay for all this? Each time we borrow money to rebuild it is money we must pay back. Can we afford to keep rebuilding on land which will be constantly be destroyed and devastated from disasters like Hurricane Delta? Every time a Hurricane threatens to even remotely look like it might hit the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, oil futures spike and that means a hit to our transportation sector as well. We know that the final blow to Delta Airlines and their bankruptcy was the increased fuel prices due to the crude oil barrel prices. Will we find after these latest Hurricanes that FEMA simply cannot continue to borrow at these rates to rebuild on troubled ground so prone to devastation? The giant sandbar we call Florida and the Gulf Coast from the Mississippi Delta to Key West is indeed one serious target of Mother Natures wrath as we saw from Wilma as she willfully broke Western World Weather Records as she packed a wallop of wicked winds. We can never forget Hurricanr Katrina and Rita either or the fuel price spikes they caused us at the pumps. How much more can we take? How much more can we afford? How solvent is FEMA, how long will we be paying off these borrowed monies to rebuild what will inevitably be re-destroyed by dangerous disastrous devastating destruction over the coming days and decades? |
