Tuesday the U.S. Senate once again passed a short term extension to the federal flood insurance program. The program will now be able to borrow money to operate until November 30. A long term solution to the program has once again escaped Trump and his party and as a result it has become one extension after another. Louisiana, a state that depends on the program because of its flood problems get no help from Louisiana's elected officials who serve in congress and can not agree on a long term plan or solution.
The trumpet man and the GOP can pass a tax cut that benefits the wealthy and corporate America and add $1.8 trillion to the national debt but lack the governing ability to move legislation that is worthy for the people in need of flood insurance. Its a pattern of non governing by a party whose ideology is unAmerican and incapable of good judgement. And to top it off, their leader in the White House lies about every thing and supports Russia and his own interest.
So like health care and immigration, the can continues to be kicked down the road on the flood insurance program. And the can was smashed by Trump himself of making Mexico pay for a wall and once again has threatened to shut down the federal government if congress does not agree to pay for his wall and bail the trumpet man out of another big lie. Trump thinks he can shut the federal government down and blame the democratic party. That is how his corrupted mind works and operates. When November 30 rolls around, the federal flood insurance program will tell a story. Will it be a long term story and solution or more of the same extensions and lack of governing.
