Almost all of the levees held for Ida.

[Tommy Carcetti]

Yes, it was a hellacious storm and there was significant damage associated with wind, storm surge and power outages.

But the levees that were rebuilt after Katrina seem to have done their job.

That's a rather fine rebuttal of Reagan's "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" mantra, don't you think?

1. Everyone should build their own damn levee

Anything else is socialism.

2. No pun intended.

3. Reagan has proved it time and time again

see his government problems in Afghanistan, Iran, Central America, union busting, financial deregulation, etc.

Republicans always tell us government is bad for us, then they get elected and prove it. Because Republican government is very bad.

[relayerbob]

[GoCubsGo]

6. Thank goodness.

Now, pass the infrastructure bill, and use some of that money to shore them up for the next time. And, there will be a next time--sooner than we'd like.

9. Commons. That's the job of government.

[Wounded Bear]

12. That's good to hear, now let's raise them another 5 feet...

because I suspect that in 10 years they'll add another category to the chart. Have to prepare for Category 6 coming up.
