While I don't disagree with you in principle, there are socio-economic factors that don't permit some people from making better decisions. I don't believe that we have to rebuild their individual houses, but I do think it is a reasonable use of money to build low income housing to allow them a place to live.

One of my observations is that if you get caught up in a large scale national disaster, you are basically screwed no matter what kind of insurance you have.
And I do think our government has an obligation to help its own citizens before we send millions of dollars to tsunami victims or foreign national disasters. Not give them a better life than they had, but to make provisions for emergency housing and food, and basic services.
