Specifically, WRDA 2024 would approve projects under the jurisdiction of the Army Corps for flood mitigation, waterways restoration and port improvements.

Are they sure they are not putting the projects in the wrong hands? The Army Corps of Engineers have been at it for a long time and we can see the results. Not good. They have screwed up the environment along the rivers they work on. So, more damage is probably in the works.

Good point

I mean, someone has to have noticed this point besides me. I guess they don’t mind wasting our taxes on frivolous things. The damage the Corps does is usually not seen until a big flood season along the Mississippi River. Then it is in full view of everybody.

I used to think highly of the Crops but they have lost their luster as of late

I think they lost most of their luster long ago. Every flood season you see lost luster.

To be fair preparing for a 1,000 year flood is not easy

Yes, but these 1,000 year floods are coming at intervals of about 10 - 15 years. 1.000 year flood is kind of de-exaggerating the frequency of flooding. Then there are the dredging operations that are putting highly polluted bottom sludge on the land and screwing up that land, too.
