It seems that the Army Corps of Engineers installed 34 defective pumps in the rebuilding of the New Orleans flood control system.
So which of Bush's political pals had the contract and provided substandard equipment that put people's lives at risk--at taxpayers' expense?

Actually the pump company is partly owned by none other than Jeb Bush. But before you Libs get excited remember somebody had to own the company. The Army Corps of Engineers had to make a decision.The pumps were the biggest ever built for this application and they were quickly designed and not tested. So their choice was,put the pumps in now and hope they work and replace them later if necessary, or don't put them in and have nothing in case of a hurricane. They did the right thing and installed the pumps.The pumps worked but they did vibrate a bit. As it turned out, no amount of pumps of any size could have handled the storm surge that occurred
