Little discussed fact:

It was long known in scientific and engineering circles that the levees in New Orleans would fail. Throughtout the 90's and 00's, bills were sent up to Congress to address the problem- and time after time THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY refused to fund them.

The worst effects of Hurrican Katrina could well have been prevented and at the very least mitigated- but for the repeated pattern of Republican negligence in the face of crumbling infrastructure.

Same thing happpened to a certain bridge not far from the Convention site....
