How is

$140,000,000, for repair, construction and restoration of facilities; equipment replacement and upgrades including stream gages, and seismic and volcano monitoring systemsI’m sorry, but I’ve dealt enough with the process to know that there is more than enough money in almost every budget to deal with real problems if the fat were cut out. The fact still remains that we have more data than we can use to conduct worthwhile analysis and make predictions.

Your only argument is the there will be a pony buried somewhere in the manure. Probably true, but that does not negate the fact that the more manure you buy the more they want to sell you.

throwing money at a problem?
