The National flood insurance program should be eliminated. Taxpayers shouldn't have to bail out people foolish enough to build and live in the riskiest locations. People that live close to the water should pay increased flood insurance premiums. Once again, the wealthy few managed to convince politicians to limit flood insurance premiums for coastal property owners. That means the rest of us will have to pay more in taxes the next time a storm wipes these people out. The federal government shouldn't be in the property insurance business.
