Houston Billions - tax roulette or multiple choice?

Okay, here's the ultimate Republican game of chance.  

Houston Texas is the fourth largest city in the United States and a major seaport on the Gulf Coast. After Hurricane Harvey, the entire region, including Houston and many other low lying communities, have been entirely wiped out because of the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey's category four winds and the subsequent flooding events. 

Obviously, Houston's concrete paved suburb and, particularly, that bad urban planning decision, are now showing the ultimate trade off.  Keeping costs down by paving has prevented the flood waters from finding a place to go, because the concrete is not facilitating soil retention.  

Therefore, here's the Hurricane Harvey deal, the one that all of America is holding in our tax paying hands- what do we do?
  

1.  When Congress re-convenes in September 2017, their major goal is to fund the government.
2.  Nobody expected the US Congress to face the needs of a drowning Houston and Gulf Coast, resulting from Hurricane Harvey. Recover will be very expensive.
3.  What's a Republican tax cutting congress supposed to do?

Place your bets- Faites vos jeux!

I'm putting markers on the numbers 7 and 1:

Number 1 means- Congress must drop the crazy notion of funding a border wall with Mexico.

Here are seven reasons why American simply can't afford such an expensive negative symbol:

1.  Even if such a monstrosity is built, it won't survive. No wall has ever survived.  Therefore, the wall is a waste of money.

2.  Donald Trump wants to shut down the government if the Congress refuses his demand to fund a border wall with Mexico. Oh really? Close down the government after Hurricane Harvey?  Donald Trump is crazy. He can't shut down the government, not now.  But, okay, if he tries, I get double my winnings because I'll have helped bet on how to finish Donald Trump's political career in complete disgrace.

3. If Donald Trump continues the crazy idea to fund an expensive and useless border wall with Mexico - the one Trump promised would be paid for by Mexico (NOT!), that means Republicans will have to raise taxes to pay for it, plus make funds available to the Houston recovery progress.
Haaaaaaa!  Haaaaaa!

4.  Donald Trump owns the Hurricane Harvey weather disaster, because he signed an executive order to reduce environmental regulations that would prevent disastrous floods, like the ones now devastating Houston. In fact, Trump has a leadership opportunity to fix what he broke. Will he rise to the challenge; or will he politically sink in the mud of a water logged Houston debacle?

5. When Donald Trump dares to show his face in Houston to speak to all who are being impacted along the Gulf Coast, he had better be prepared to offer hope to the victims and the rescuers who deserve compensation for their time as well as to recover property losses. Where will the moneies be found?  

6.  Moreover, when it comes right down to it, the post Hurricane Harvey clean up work will be done by Mexicans or other Hispanic minority groups. That's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  Donald Trump must learn to deal with this fact, because nobody else is going to make Houston great again, unless Mexicans  and other laborers provide the work force to do the clean up jobs.

7.  If my bets are right, the Mexican border wall is a lost cause.

Republicans cannot win this game of chance.  They must do what's right for the nation and for Houston.
