Would Bush-co try and encourage victims to sue the federal
Advertisements [?]
government? The normal practice in a disaster is that the government takes on the responsibility of cleaning up & giving people new homes & aid, and they sign over their right to sue. That is standard practice for any disaster settlement.

In Bushco's desire to see the federal government debt-ridden and sunk, and in an attempt to play Dems off against their base, would Bushco encourage lawsuits against the federal government?

It would hurt the Dems badly as they would have to be on the side of people giving up their ability to sue as they received government compensation.

I know it is unlikely. But the Repukes are now desperate to bankrupt the government. They know now they will loose power in the years to come.

I guess I just had that bad thought and put it out there.

Does anyone know what the federal government's current laws are on settle ling the victims of disasters?
