Have you driven I-5, going through CA's central valley? They have such lovely signs as "Congress created dust bowl."

People will absolutely blame Democrats for the drought (or Republicans, it doesn't matter) if that means they are absolved of responsibility.

It's somewhat ironic that the government and specifically the army corps of engineers created the central valley. It was a desert / dust-bowl before.

It's also sad that a central valley project could never happen today. There would be endless environmental impact studies.
