I think the federal flood insurance program is actuarially unsound and renders private insurance not viable, thereby needing an overhaul going forward.

I sympathize with the victims of Hurricane Sandy and believe that those who purchased flood insurance should have their claims paid.

If this is to become a perpetual government program, like flood insurance, the industry should be honest about it.

Residents should not be worried that the flood insurance program is insolvent. Be assured, we're not going belly-up, and we're not going away.

When President Obama took office, I was transitioning out of the military and just seeing that he was taking the country in a direction that I didn't think was consistent with the Founding Fathers and with our constitutional roots.

Patrick Murphy's decision to support a deal that infuses the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism with $150 billion, confers international legitimacy on Iran's expansive nuclear program, and even allows Iran to inspect its own military sites demonstrates a lack of judgment and inexperience in matters of national security.
