SocraticGadfly: One Ike Dike Corps of Engineers grifting coming up?

One Ike Dike Corps of Engineers grifting coming up?

Via Kuff, who's not an actual environmentalist type except to "own the wingnuts," AFAIK, word is that, contra my early, detailed, and ongoing, pleas for this not to happen, the House, in overwhelming bipartisan fashion, has approved funding for a so-called "Ike Dike." (That said, IIRC, Brains, who theoretically should know better, also has defended it, like he's defended the "bullet train to nowhere Roans Prairie."

Shock me. Too many librulz ignore the Army Corps of Engineers' woeful environmental record. (Were I your president, even though it's riddled with civilians, I'd take the Army part seriously and as Commander in Chief of the armed forces, order it to stop everything and not start anything new.)

I know the Water Resources Development Act includes much more than the Ike Dike, but people put it in there. And, sadly, not a single Democrat, including the Fraud Squad, and fake environmentalist Jared Huffman (on this, too) voted no.
