Turn the Party Out

My homeowner's insurance went from $798 last year to $2656 this year. I know. Think of the corsets I can't buy now that I'm strapped. Get it? Strapped.

I'm not complaining, just stating outright that sh*t's outta hand. Of course, C, H, and the boys over at Sunshine will insist this has nothing to do with our leaders. Of course, they will say I should be thankful my home is worth so much. Sure.

Of course, I disagree. Insurance companies (and oil companies, etc.) should not be allowed to price gouge and then blame it on a war or hurricane. Many homeowners are going to foreclose due to rising insurance rates and our Republican representatives will be held accountable.

A group of angry, fed-up homeowners is gathering in beautiful downtown New Port Richey.

My solution is to tell insurance companies that if they want to write Auto, boat, motorcycle, etc policies in Florida then they have to write Home and Renters as well.

And since they won't want to give up those lucrative lines of business they'll all stay. And then price competition will kick in and the rates will go down.

I'm probably wrong. But that's what I'd do if I were king.

My insurance went from $800 to $2800, plus the bank want another $2000 as an escrow buffer. This equates to an additional $400 a month for me.

That's alot of cash.
