Dead right. Jim Rogers said that over the last 10 years, the Levee Board has:
1) Bought a casino
2) Bought a private marina
3) Bought a private plane
4) Invested several 100 million with friends

I jotted it down I was so stunned.

See the Blame Game video, about halfway through, for the direct quote.

Well, now we can see why Congress "failed" to appropriate mo' money to these corrupt thieves.

The Feds can only appropriate funds to get things done. When the bozos at state level then pi$$ it all away, the press and the public have no business pointing fingers at the federal level.

I sent Senator Landrieu a note with this little tidbit of info. I told her I understood she thinks all the blame is the President cutting funding... said good thing he did or I fear the levee board would have just spent it on more personal expenditures as in the past and then gave these stats.

I think everyone else should follow suit... let her know if she wants to throw mud we're there to smear it where it belongs.
