This article is disturbing on the surface, but is a bit misleading and unecessarily inflamitory. The funding that was cut was for flood control from surges in Lake Pontchatrain, not multiple breaches in levees and not against a catagory 4 or 5 hurricane. Nothing proposed would have made a difference against Katrina.

As stated in the article, this has been a decades long issue, meaning previous administrations, along with the Bush administration have failed to properly address the situation. That will obvious change after the tragic events we are all witnessing.

These events will no doubt be evaluated in the future, but now is not the time to determin "who's to blame".
