Texas Republican Congressvarmint Jeb Hensarling is a very rich man, so he’s sort of clueless when it comes to life in general.

What, Me Worry Hensarling

That’s why he’s baffled by people who don’t just up and move when their house floods.

Some homeowners with property near flood-prone areas should make their homes more resilient or relocate out of the flood zone, Hensarling suggested.

“At some point, God is telling you to move,” Hensarling added in an interview on “Squawk Box.”

Okay, so I’m wondering this: if you say stoopid stuff over and over again and people point and laugh at you, at some point isn’t God telling you to shuddup?

There are families in my county who have lived on their property for 35 years and never flooded.  However, they have flooded twice in the past two years.  Their homes are basically worthless on the free market, you know – the free market Jeb loves.  These are people of modest means and their $100,000 house is all they have.

They are flooding because of over-development allowed, hell, even encouraged, by a Republican dominated county commissioner’s court. Maybe Jeb can help them “relocate” to a nice little spot under the freeway.

Jeb, you’re already taking away their healthcare.  You want their houses, too?

Thanks to Jann for the heads up.
