It struck me as uncomfortably timely and ultimately confirming that there was a Diane Rehm show (broadcast on 26 July 2007) discussing why the US needs to invest more in it’s infrastructure, rather than, say, giving tax breaks to the very wealthy. This discussion was unfortunately punctuated with the failure of a major bridge in Minneapolis just five days after the broadcast.
The same old thing with a new twist (aka my personal infocloud)
