Standing on that truly massive levee, it again struck me that the people of NO and LA have once again been sold down the river by their elected 'leaders'.
I like stading up top of big construction projects too, but I never put up anything that big. That kind of work usually means a lot of travel.
Yes, citizens were sold down the river by leaders.
But you forgot an essential part of the sale.
Crumbs given on the way to the citizens as they went down the river.
I don't think corruption exists in government without those crumbs being dispensed here and there.
