No levees have failed. They are performing up to specs. They are holding back floodwaters.

The governments solution? Open them up and destroy massive areas of towns and farmlands, in the name of “safety.”

And you wonder how the same government can pass Obamacare in the name of providing medical care?

Easy - they only have one solution for anything that works.

Kill it.

If the floodways were NOT opened, the levees WOULD fail. Period. And as a result, we would have a Depression like you would NOT believe.

See post 14, and don't believe everything the media reports.

They are not destroying the land, it will dry out.
