The reality is that much of the damage caused by hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires and other natural disasters is not covered by any kind of insurance and virtually every location is susceptible to something. Infrastructure is generally built and maintained by governments, often state and local. These governments almost never have the financial resources to recover from these disasters on their own and the federal government is the only body that can step in to help.  

If you really don't want help to recover from your fellow Americans (and in turn to help them when they need it) go ahead and vote for these right-wing extremists next time. But if you feel that we should help when needed, tell the Koch brothers to go pound sand.

One of the most important roles we assign to the government is to act as insurer of last resort. Apparently David Koch would have it give up that responsibility.

I don't recall this sort of reaction when disasters struck red states. Am I wrong about that? Was Koch just as vociferous about withholding aid from red state victims?
