28. Just need to spend more money with our fine "Army Corps of Engineers"

You know, the ones that built the "Navigation Canal" and the dikes in NoLA?

There are a lot of rich sons-of-bitches living the high life in ocean-front properties. Long Island, NJ shores, the Carolinas, Hawaii, Florida, etc. Are they all going to get their tans on beaches in the Himalayas or Adirondacks now? Hope their Cayman Island assets are well insured (well by their Wall Street friends who also put most of their hidden assets on the Caymans/etc.)

I hate to say anything bad about the Corps of Engineers since they are just answering orders, sometimes as best as they can. I do think that 10,000++ miles of coastline might be beyond their expertise, however.
