They could have had plenty of money for this .... A week in Iraq could pay for any project that has been proposed by any Congressman no matter how outlandish, and it would have been better spent whatever the project. TP

>They could have had plenty of money for this had it not been for the Big Dig in Boston. Did Boston really need a new highway more than New Orleans needed levee improvements? More than we needed to go to Iraq. And it needed it desperately. I'm always a sucker for infrastructure projects... our amazing transportation infrastructure is a huge part of what makes our economy so successful. >Does all the pork Robert Byrd has brought home contribute more to the voter's safety than levee enhancements would have helped these people? No, but I never said I supported that. -Z
