If you had to take on 100k debt so your family had a place to live would you not do it?
Basically the way it should play out.. Is this. They should do a study to see if the island is saveable. I don't mean build a wall, that keeps it above water for 30 years..
If they can build a wall and have reasonable assurance that the island will still be there in 200 years then I say give them a $5million dollar emergency grant that doesn't have to be paid back and then the rest of the money should be given as a 30 year "loan" to the town.
The town then has 30 years to repay the note at X amount per month. That is more than fair and they can then decide how they will deal with collecting the money from the people on their island.
The problem I have with this, is Trump supporters specifically but also the right wing in general are always the loudest when it comes to hand outs going to someone else, but they are always the 1st in line expecting handouts when they need it. They should pull up their bootstraps just like they tell everyone else to do...
