If the dams are risky, fix ’em—but don’t expect taxpayers to bankroll a federal boondoggle.

A reauthorization that’s more like a pit stop—keeping the system running but no flashy upgrades.

More government spending on dams—it’s never just about safety, is it? Watch the budget overflow.

Safety first sounds good, but I’m watching to see if this actually flows past paperwork.

Better dams, safer homes—because nobody should live downstream of neglect.

Reauthorizing dam safety funding? Looks like Congress just remembered climate change isn't a spectator sport.

Extending support to states makes sense; let’s just hope the funds don’t get stuck in bureaucratic rapids.

States should handle this without Uncle Sam holding their hand; less federal meddling, more local muscle.

Finally, some federal muscle to protect communities before disaster strikes—about time we put people over profits.
