Congress was just as responsible as the President in starving the Arecibo facility of funds to be maintained and repaired. A good look at the currently pending appropriations bill shows that none of them cared enough to make any specific provision to try to repair the facility let alone allocate enough funds to do so. We're cruising for a government shutdown on December 11th as neither the House nor the Senate have agreed a budget to present to the President so the wreckage is going to be sitting for quite a while longer.
