Since Ronald Reagan was president we have cut back the size of the Federal Government. One of the maintenance programs that has been cut badly is the dredging of the rivers and lakes in the United States. Because of this 20 year lack of funds the Army Corps of Engineers has to run their business on shoestring budgets and cut back on badly needed maintenance. This may be the first time in over 20 years that they have enough to pay for some of this maintenance.It is a little to late for the folks that have communities under water this morning.
