"In Katrina's wake, Louisiana politicians and other 
    critics have complained about paltry funding for the Army 
    Corps in general and Louisiana projects in particular. 
    But over the five years of President Bush's 
    administration, Louisiana has received far more money for 
    Corps civil works projects than any other state, about 
    $1.9 billion; California was a distant second with less 
    than $1.4 billion, even though its population is more 
    than seven times as large."
