Suppose you hired a contractor to renovate your house and upon completion you discover he did a really bad job.  

Then suppose you gave that same contractor MORE money, told him to do it RIGHT this time, but now you want the contractor to REALLY RUSH the job.

Would you ever do that?  Of course not; no sane person would take that risk.  But that is just what our 109th Congress did with the US Army Corps of Engineers and the flood protection system of metro New Orleans.
