Personally I think they need to close the canal. It was created to get sewage to go down the mississippi instead of washing up on shore in the first place. Today its of pretty minimal economic value (Around a million dollars per yer)

Personally I think closing the canal could create an economic opportunity in the form of locks or something.

I think they need to close the canal as well.

But they won’t. It would be MUCH better for untold numbers of people to do so but not for obama’s peeps.

Seven million tons of cargo moves annually through the O'Brien Lock and Dam. It must be really cheap cargo to only amount to a million dollars per year.
