Congress started funding the Southeast Louisiana (SELA) Urban Flood Control
Project in 1995. SELA was a long-term capital works project. The U.S. Army Corp
of Engineers spent more than $400 million on levees and pumps.

The project was not complete, but in 2003, the funding was cut. Last year the
Corps of Engineers requested $65 million, but the administration cut the SELA
funding to $10.4 million.

Would those same decisions have been made if budget proposals for the US, UK,
Canada, and other nations were available on the web, with RSS feeds for programs
marked for big cuts or big increases?
