So now Schwarzenegger and the other two elected liberals from California have elevated delta levee maintenance to the level of the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, and the circumstances in New Orleans.

How very liberal of them all.

I'd have thought that these three California liberals would have learned a lesson from the Katrina disaster:

1) It's far cheaper to prohibit growth in flood prone areas than build bigger, higher levees.
2) Its far cheaper to let agriculture maintain the levees, at their own private expense, than to prohibit them from levee maintenance in the name of environmentalism.
3) It's far cheaper to provide tax relief for agriculture, to sustain their vital role, than it is to build bigger, higher levees inviting urban expansion into productive farm and forestry land.

It's far cheaper to let people build where they like, and suffer the consequences. But I suppose that won't fly in California. It's government's job to save everyone from their own stupidity.
