I didn't say this instance was Crony Capitalism per se. It's the idea that Uncle Sam gets too deep into too many things and yet the masses of voters believe we have free markets, Capitalism, etc. What I expect is less insanity. Sure, help the people that were there. But for others to be coming in from the outside and exploiting the gov's offers, that's hardly reasonable and smart. Furthermore, it's hypocritical - and costly - for the gov to say "climate change is coming it's going to raise the oceans..." and then in the next breath "here's taxpayer money to rebuild in a low-lying area because this isn't going to happen again." If we want people to take climate change seriously, then mixed signals like this aren't helping.
