Federal funds dry up for river dredging

"'I blame the Bush administration,' [ Treybig ] said. 'They are spending all of that money in Iraq fixing things while we are having to struggle back in this country. The pressure on Bush is only going to get worse as folks like me begin to push this thing. This is really going to hurt him in November.'"

I think that Treybig is very optimistic about the funds going to Iraq. Do anyone really believe that Iraq is getting "fixed"?

On the other hand, the upshot for folks like Treybig is that there are no funds for basic infrastructure services in the US.
