Just wondering if anyone else feels like me…

If you could go back to just a land line phone at home, would you?

@Tex2Big @ronworks44 @SenJeffMerkley This isnt a Corps project

[Gulf Coast Resource Coalition @GulfCoalition]

Well we’ll have to agree to disagree. This project will operate to release 75000 cfs (7 times the size of the American Niagara and Bridal Veils falls) of polluted Mississippi River water into one of the largest producing brackish estuaries in the world. The science is clear—it will not only freshen the entire basin, making it unsuitable for oyster and brown shrimp production (the majority of those domestic supplies to the entire country), it will affect the brackish and saline marsh grasses which are critical for storm surge protection. And the project will also cause massive wetland loss further downriver in an area also crucial for hurricane protection. In addition, one of the largest dolphin populations in the US will be driven to functional extinction from the low salinity exposure (confirmed by the Marine Mammal Commission)—this severe top to bottom food chain interruption in the largest estuary in the Gulf will have implications Gulf-wide.

This project isn’t “progress.” It’s only purpose is to purportedly “build and restore wetlands” through sediment delivery from the river—the modeling shows only a paltry 1% additional wetlands in the basin after 50 years. This is simply a $3 billion money grab with the most egregiously upside-down cost/benefit analysis ever. In fact, it would have NEVER received permit approval if they hadn’t snuck a waiver to the Marine Mammal Protection Act for the project into the Budget Act of 2018 (to fix the “dolphin problem” as they called it)😒

@RobertKennedyJr The “4th Estate” is critical & has, in large measure, failed us in this era.

Very similar circumstances in the battle we’re fighting to save coastal communities, resources and economies across the Gulf Coast (a one sided narrative) https://t.co/L2OpYw8bRG

@ronworks44 @SenJeffMerkley Well, except they are, and large, national, grant-laden environmental groups are actively helping to push the projects forward😒

Appreciate your comment. While technically “default” has occurred, they “defaulted” on HOW they promised to pay, not on satisfying the debt per se—they simply made ugly devaluations in trust and currency…the point of the wrangling going on now.

As for “dubious interpretation” of the amendment…thats an interesting question. One could argue that “The validity of the public debt…authorized by law” forces payment—Congress authorized the spending that the debt was incurred for. However, to prevent the aforementioned devaluation in trust and currency, and forcing future generations to suffer, make the dang cuts in useless government frivolity. (Section 5)

That’s our only point

[Gulf Coast Resource Coalition @GulfCoalition]

@ArmedAndGentle @RepJeffries Left….Right….One might argue that they’re both wings of the same bird that’s crapping on our cars 😂

[Gulf Coast Resource Coalition @GulfCoalition]

@RepJeffries Let’s be perfectly clear for Democrats AND Republicans—“defaulting” will not occur as its Constitutionally barred. So, as always, the narrative being pushed is one of fear & an opportunity for both parties to jockey their way into keeping COVID induced hyper-spending levels🫤😒

[Gulf Coast Resource Coalition @GulfCoalition]

@SenJeffMerkley This didn’t set the precedent, unfortunately. It was set by Section 20201 in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018–enabling projects that will destroy the two largest producing estuaries in the world, over 25% of domestic seafood supply & one of the largest U.S. dolphin populations

@ABMarkThomas1 Think peace, love and have you seen my keys

[Gulf Coast Resource Coalition @GulfCoalition]

@RepRussellFry This is exactly right—send it to the @SenSchumer Senate…let the Democrat controlled body decide to raise the debt ceiling or not. Not even sure why negotiations took place.😒

You can thank some large #environmental groups for this #MountainValleyPipeline language in the bill - We warned that they set a HORRIBLE precedent in 2018 by sneaking in sec. 20201 to the must-pass Budget Act to gut the MMPA for their own pet project. https://t.co/OW1vGMABaW
