Mines and Levees

I'm starting to sense a pattern here - warning, apathy, program cuts, death.
It seems that levy system warnings aren't the only thing to bring about program cuts and apathy in the Bush administration; he also ignored warnings regarding mine safety. David Sirota, formerly of the House Appropriations Committee, blogged the full story earlier today and was even nice enough to include the fact sheet put together by House Democrats that was presented to the Bush administration on August 5th, 2002. According to the fact sheet, Bush had to dig all the way back to the 1900's to justify safety cuts. Of course, no one in the administration was in danger of finding themselves buried alive
