When the levee breaks, we got no place to stay

I didn't expect this case to ever actually get resolved. Of course I realize that it's not yet--the federal government can appeal, but according to a federal district court decision this week, the Army Corp of Engineers is partly responsible through negligence for the devastation (still not cleaned up, by the way) in New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina.
This article mentions it briefly; while wanting a decent infrastructure in this country may be socialist, I've never really shied away from saying things that could be considered socialist. We've spent decades 'gutting big gummint' because that's the easy and voter-friendly path, rather than investing in this country. (Which is, I believe, God's greatest democratic country of freedom and liberty that God ever put on the face of the greatest planet in the best solar system in the entire galaxy.)
