Preventable Disaster?

At the risk of seeming like I'm making hay out of the tragedy in Minneapolis, it seems to me that, perhaps, the kind of systemic, chronic, underfunding of this nation's infrastructure that lead to the levee's flooding NOLA during Katrina might be in play here. At least that's what the ASCE 2005 report card would indicate.

And sorry Michelle...no Al Quaedas in sight. Just more malfeasance.

Update: As Brian Williams pointed out, they'd better get something up in a hurry.

With the failure of Katrina, and now this, I wonder whether people are finally going to realize that its not taxes, but rather, how the taxes are spent, that needs to be the question. It seems that its more important propagate Corporate Welfare than to the actual welfare of you and me. I would say that there is a good chance that this will become an issue, as it should, and one more nail in the "conservative" coffin.
