Since you know it all ......when will the next 500 year storm hit the Houston area.....I want to mark my calendar? By the way I didn't miss even one math question on my college entrance test and had a full ride academic scholarship....probably not many on the site will be able to say the same thing. How does that song go by Shania Twain....Okay, so you're a rocket scientist...that don't impress me much.

I think we essentially agree. Yours was an either or. If I had my preference I would probably not want either but if I had to chose one I would go with rebuild.
How much states get is complex which is why I referenced some "baseline". I would also agree with spending on infrastructure is not wasted money. It also has a trickle down effect of creating jobs besides just the roads. Those jobs result in revenue to other businesses so the overall cost starts to effectively come down. I am one who is more than willing to have less if it means taking care of those who can not help themselves. I cant over state this fact....many people dont share that same belief. I do think it is a good insight into their moral compass.
On the other hand I dont want to have less because someone is lazy or makes poor decisions and have self inflicted wounds. In the case of living in flood zone or smoking cigarettes and then asking me to pay more for my health insurance. Or I lost all my money gambling and now I am getting food stamps to feed the family. People need to be responsible for their actions.
Increasing from when? all time low years?
what do you have against simple math?
or am I misunderstanding what you mean when you say "increasing"?
where do they come up with this shit? this is what makes it so difficult to have a conversation

There are three active hurricanes at the same time in the Atlantic.....first time in seven years.....must be difficult to understand.

There are currently 3 active hurricanes in the Atlantic....this has not happened in 7 years.
Since 1851 there have not been two category 4 or higher hurricanes that have hit the USA.
I guess I am making things up or the view with your head in the sand doesn't allow you to see what is going on.
sure, some short term activity trumps years of activity, whatever
only in the eyes of lefties, who spin whatever they need to spin to fit their agenda
Who has the most to lose if climate change is happening......... oil and military........they also happen to be two of the bigger beasts out there? Protecting oil interests are the main reasons for wars.....which feeds all of those making money selling weapons. Oil in itself is another huge animal that would hate to see their demand die. The amount some scientist makes studying climate change compared to these two industries are not even close. It would be like a new online seller going to compete with Amazon......not even close.
So the real spin for them to keep feeding the animal .....just cast a doubt. See tobacco industry .... making millions selling products that cause cancer but never admitting to the fact that their product was harmful because they were making millions.
