The Funding to temporary extend this program is in the Senate Banking as we speak.We all know how bad FEMA manages programs.Its terrible management of the floods in New Orleans and in Texas.Congressman Brian Higgins called the NFIP the worse federal program he has ever seen.FEMA pays the insurance industry $ .71 cents of every dollar in premiums it collects before one single claim is paid out. The NFIP owes the US Treasury 20 billion dollar, but has paid out only $11.6 billion dollars in claims since 1978.FEMA has been unwilling to correct bad data used in new flood maps, the program puts the burden on the tax payers to correct bad data used for this new insurance maps.From the Trailers they never used because they were stuck in the mud out west.Its very questionable relationship with the insurance industry.Unwilling to correct bad data they used in updating the Flood insurance maps.Lets stop this waste.Lets help balance the budget. Lets cut this wasteful federal program.Tell your Congressman and Senators not to fund the NFIP.
