As an American I know. These levees were built KNOWING that they sink at a mathematical formulate rate. This is FAKE NEWS. The 14 billion dollar cost is a cost rate over a decade or more, lets say 1 billion at 14 years long. This billion a year is the cost to keep adding on to the existing well made and constructed infrastructure.
Please don’t co-opt the phrase “fake news” even if you don’t believe what’s being said is an accurate portrayal — it disparages the news media by implicitly legitimizing self-serving uses of the term. Every time this phrase is used it hurts the fourth estate. The media gets things wrong sometimes, and we should hold them accountable but this isn’t how.
