Stupid Hoover Damn...

Freepers are not too happy with the idea that the government can do anything right. Thus, they minimize the Hoover Damn after Rachel Maddow used it as an example of a good government project:

Sam Clements notes that those 1930s Dems tried to screw it up:

It was the democRATS who changed the name from Hoover to Boulder because they wanted to smear Hoover’s name. The name was later changed back to Hoover Dam.

Course, back then the Dems were the conservatives, but don't bother him, he's rolling:
traditional1 knows the unions stop anything from getting done:

Hoover Dam was built with non-Union labor, which reduces costs probably 30%-50%, but without the Union Dues to funnel to Democrats, it can't be done the way things are today.
Between Davis-Bacon, and Federal Contract requirements of Union Labor, private companies that are non-Union are not included in the plans....taxpayers will pick up the slack, and donate through this money-laundering to keep the Unions funded, and pay off Democrats who look after them.

is one of many who attacks the EPA:
hattend

All the great building projects of the 30s, 40s, and 50s would never be built today with the EPA guarding the gates.

SF_Redux's joke makes no sense.

maybe they should dam the Ohio River and flood Chicago

Wonder if they'll attack the moon landing next.
