Curses! The neo-libs have caught on the right-winged conspiracy and their magical Drought/Wildfire machine!
Typically, those on the right come crawling to the feds when they get in trouble. And is always the feds who get them out of trouble.
What's the Republican plan for dealing with the South East's dwindling water supply?

So being in the Southeast, the question really is "What are we doing to deal with the Southeast's dwindling water supply?" We southerners really take water for granted. Compare that to San Diego where water conservation is the norm and I have little sympathy for Atlanta. When they start considering water a valuable natural resource and conserving it, they will find they have plenty. I don't look to the national government for an answer.
The REps are all about states rights, which means lots of lawsuits.
Atlanta is now talking about building reservoirs, which is closing the barn door after the horses bolted.
The water shortage in the Southeast as it is affecting municipalities on a local, state and interstate, but not national, level is still a political problem, though. What are the ideas for dealing with this problem from the local and state level? Also, as there is a strong anti-government (at all three levels) bent in this area of the country, what are some of the ideas from the business and commercial sectors of society?
