I have got tens of thousands of constituents who are living on the second floor of their house with all the sheetrock torn out on the first level. They have nowhere else to go. These are $400,000 and $500,000 houses. These people are not wealthy. These are middle income, hardworking Americans who are busting their chops. Their entire life savings is sunk into their house. And they were flooded deliberately by the Corps of Engineers. And by dragging your feet on this, you are really hurting these folks. These people need help.
