In this bill are funds to build new locks on the upper Mississippi and
Illinois rivers. These are to aid in shipping larger amounts of corn and
soy. As I understand it, these funds will only benefit Archer Daniels
Midlands and Cargill (socialize the cost and privatize the profits) and
not the farmers. Can anyone shed any additional light on this situation?

Obviously, anything to help New Orleans is warranted but the ethnic
cleansing of New Orleans, that is now in progress, is repugnant to
anyone with a social conscience. Strengthen the levees, and let the
inhabitants of the lower Ninth Ward return to their homes.

I know I am only addressing New Orleans and there is an entire sea board
there that is in trouble and needs help, not condos.
