Friend,
The lack of serious, well-built flood-control and water-management
infrastructure in the Hill County of Texas, and especially on the
Guadalupe River, is the predominant reason why heavy rains were able
to turn into heavy floods. As a result of the July 4 flooding, as of
now 120 people are dead, and that number is expected to grow. Had the
infrastructure been built, it is likely that more than 85% of those
who died would now be alive.
If we are to prevent such deadly occurrences in the future, then
all of the passing lies and fairytales, such as blaming these
tragedies on "climate change," must be thrown aside and replaced by
real flood control infrastructure projects, typified by what FDR did
with the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1930s, and what JFK
continued in the 1960s.
The Wall Street-City of London budget-cutters as well as some
radical environmentalists may join together to oppose it, but the
construction of this infrastructure is what will save lives.
To
discuss this, tonight I will be joined by construction and engineering
experts Cal Smith and Bruce Todd.
