A staggering investment is needed in infrastructure that is reaching the end of its life span if the United States is to remain competitive and serve its growing population.The experts have been saying that for years, and the latest report on an aspect of their concern was released Thursday, when the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) described the nation’s electrical grid as a patchwork system that ultimately will break down unless $673 billion is invested in it by 2020.If investment isn’t increased by at least $11 billion a year, the report said, the electrical service interruptions between now and 2020 will cost $197 billion.
Step down Mr. and Mrs. Politically Correct.It's so easy to be "punk" and "aware" living at home.You can't change shit, you're too self-righteous;you're the bigots you flaunt to loathe.
This sort of investment would've been perfect in 2009 when the recession was at its worst. It certainly would've been a whole lot more helpful than bailing out the people who at the very least greatly exacerbated the mess in the first place.

Her3tik, you have groupies.
There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.
Silly, we can't have improvements to our infrastructure, that would involve spending money where it's really needed, and that's considered socialism nowadays...
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Love your sarcasm nickinackYes we need to upgrade our systems badly, but the asshats in congress are just holding us back and not only that but this would be productive and helpful towards our economy as it would open a lot of jobs up for people that have no jobs now.
The solution to this is more tax cuts for the rich. Obviously.
