George Stops Funding For New Orleans Levee	Bradd	08/31/05
Tax cuts for his wealthy pals and huge budgets for his war in Iraq resulted in the Bush White House stopping funding for critically needed levee work in Lake Ponchatrain - you know, the lake that is now inundating New Orleans? The elimination of previously agreed upon federal dollars for the work stopped in 2004 amid warnings of possible disaster by those who were there. Specifically, work at the now broached 17th St. levee. Interesting story.... http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001051313

Thanks, Bradd. I mentioned this to son Daniel (now at 1:30 a.m....) who said it had been mentioned on the 10 o'clock news. I wonder if Bush, as his plane flew over the devastation on Wed, remembered that he had stopped the funding and maybe felt bad.
