1. The current elected officials do not manage and maintain the assets hard working tax payers have provided. This ranges from infrastructure to pensions. Instead the politicians use the Government money to 'buy' votes.
2. Then the politicians get into power and force their agendas and beliefs on the hard working taxpayers. You know the plan to govern was laid out in the founding documents, it's not that difficult, just follow the founders plan!
3. The issues with the dam was know for 12 years and yet no plan was created to address!
4. Instead of spending a little bit of money to maintain, the politicians wait for an emergency to spend many times more money to 'fix' the problem. Then the politicians tell us to pay more taxes to cover the emergency. Why not just maintain the assets we have and stop the day to day emergency's?
This is why Trump won, hard working taxpayers are done with the political class!
I read today that those who were evacuated will not be let back in until the dam is fixed. Wow 200,000 people can't go home until the government who did nothing for 12 years gets around to fixing the problem!
Hmmmmm? It sorta reminds me of the mini series “The Returned”? Saw the better version, the original, in French.
I saw one news feed where the Red Cross was saying do not bring your pets.
Mainly because they didn’t prepare and self evacuate when the spillway first was overflowing the way that it did. Smart people got out early
Two years ago during the drought this spillway could have been easily repaired.....elevated trains were the priority...Democrats go figure!!!
FDR was (later) reamed for taking people out of their houses and putting them in camps.
Jerry Brown and his State of California predecessors deserve some of the same.
