Actually, you are right, your bringing ex-President Johnson into the picture was not funny: it was stupid.
I like your selective reading of the article I posted. What about this paragraph?
"Yet after 2003, the flow of federal dollars toward SELA dropped to a trickle. The Corps never tried to hide the fact that the spending pressures of the war in Iraq, as well as homeland security -- coming at the same time as federal tax cuts -- was the reason for the strain."
Like I said in my first post, there is enough blame to go around: Federal, State and City officials.
PS. FYI, I do not get my instructions from the DNC or Moveon.org.: in the US, the Democrats are as ridiculous as the Republicans, which is not saying much...
