1. Americans are a giving, compassionate people. They willingly support any number of domestic and international causes that bring relief and hope to those in need. Is there a limit to this generosity? Some analysts point to what they call "Donor Fatigue." This describes a situation where people no longer give to causes that they supported in the past. What is "donor fatigue? Critics point to the National Flood Insurance Program as an example. Everyone feels compassion for those who have lost their homes and possessions due to flooding, right? Maybe not. Many insurance companies refuse to underwrite flood insurance in certain locations because the potential liability exceeds the premiums they can charge. Critics assert that taxpayers should not be required to subsidize those who choose to build in known floodplains - they know the risk, they should accept the risk. Is this "donor fatigue?" What do you think? Explain your position.
