Nancy Pelosi's Rohatyn-controlled Congress has failed once again to prevent multiple deaths and destruction of lives of American citizens, which otherwise would have been preventable through fighting for basic federal economic infrastructure funding for safety repair and future development.

Earlier this week, record rains created record floods in America's Northwestern most state, Washington. The largest interstate running down the west coast, I5, was closed in Washington, as well as many others throughout the state, which had been swamped with floodwater for more than three days. Floodwaters in the Chehalis River Valley have covered I5 5 times in 17 years, this time with more than ten feet of water.

The Army Corp of Engineers has proposed higher levees as well as changes to a dam on the Skookumchuck River. However, the broader federal funding needed to build like projects throughout our nation has been nonexistent as has been the will of the Congress to fight for a capital budgeting approach to fund the infrastructure our future generations will need.

Seven people have died due to consequences of the severe weather and the power outages that have resulted throughout Washington state and more than 400 national guardsmen have been deployed. 33,000 people are without power, and nearly 20,000 without safe drinking water, according to the Seattle P.I. Also reported is the shut down of 14 water systems entirely as well as 9 others which aren't producing fresh water properly.

Some people have driven more than 70 miles to buy gasoline, just to keep their power generators going.

Congress has shown once again, that without being compelled by force exerted by the general U.S. population through sane leadership, like that of Lyndon LaRouche, they do not respond to reality.
