Blaming the Federal Government for the flooding of New Orleans is like blaming the French when the German army ran around the Maginot line.

Perhaps The city should have allowed the Feds to build those flood gates back in the 70's. Oops.

Nope, the feds built the levee walls in the late 80's, early 90's.They were incredibally misengineered and built by the Army Corps of Engineers.If they were built right , New Orleans would not have flooded.
