IMPEACH BUSH NOW ! Bush’s war left the Corps of Engineers only 20% Funding

[PennyMan]

Bush’s war left the Corps of Engineers only 20% of the funding to protect New Orleans from flooding from Lake Pontchartrain. On June 18, 2004, the Corps’ project manager, Al Naomi, told the Times-Picayune: "the levees are sinking. If we don’t get the money to raise them, we can’t stay ahead of the settlement."

Despite the dire warnings delivered by the 2004 hurricane season, the Bush administration made deep budget cuts for flood control and hurricane funding for New Orleans. The US Senate, alarmed at the Bush administration’s insanity, was planning to restore the funding for 2006. But now it is too late. Many multiples of the funding that would have saved the city now have to be spent to rescue it.

1. 100% agree, wierd that Lew Rockwell would be come at it from this angle...

considering he is libertarian and anti-state, you'd think he would support the disfunding of public-supported infrastructure.

2. That's from Paul Craig Roberts, columnist.

He is a traditional conservative, served Reagan and is a policy/think tank Republican (not a neocon).

He has called Bush an idiot from day one almost. Go look at his past columns. If you saw his posts on GD or GD Politics when people are really worked up, they would seem mild to the general tenor of DU.

His column on the inauguration is a classic.
