We can only expect flooding to get worse and become even more common as the climate continues to change. People in ohio and in north dakota, maryland, louisiana, all over the country are seeing more flooding and feeling the consequent as, whether from spring snow melt, or increasingly powerful storms, or sunny Day Flooding in coastal communities, and extreme rainfall. Just today were seeing Flash Flooding in louisiana and texas. No matter where you live, everyone pays for the financial fallout, as the country spends tax dollars to help people recover. We must take action to protect communities from climate change. That will be a longterm effort.

But democrats want a new debt limit increase for the new borrowing and the new spending that they willfully piled up since they took power, about 2 trillion back in march, trillions more sometime soon. So they want to unleash another reckless taxing and spending spree with zero republican input. Oh, oh, but when the bill comes, they say its time to split the check, when the bill comes, it is time to split the check, initiating another Budget Reconciliation Process in a 50 50 senate is as willfully partisan as go it alone as it gets, especially in a senate that keeps proving we can do bipartisan work.
