Fletch - You and I know that this has been going on for the last 30 years - the money has never been there to take care of fixing the flood walls and strengthening all of the flood control issues - it always gets cut so that some highway in California can get improved or so that a state college football stadium can get extra seats for its fans. This has been brushed aside so many times and the Army COE has always screwed up their budget with loads of "contractors" they had to have for other things - just a basket full of pork fat.
If (and I doubt it will happen ever) the news media figures out what the fuck they are talking about they might start reporting on the old fuck-ups that messed up this whole flood control plan from the start.
You and I also know that until they figure out the difference between a levee and a flood control wall - none of the above will mean anything
