Will Katrina Shift National Priorities? [LA Times]
Let us hope so...I thought the author's quote here was quite a shot of realism when talking about Wall Street:Wall Street, ever on the hunt for profit opportunities amid human suffering, also snapped up shares of a host of companies whose products or services could be in great demand as the Gulf Coast's recovery proceeds. The list included makers of manufactured housing, engineering companies, cement producers and timber suppliers — all of which also could benefit from a renewed focus on the national infrastructure.Speaking of infrasctucture, this is what the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) says about our infrastructure in its 2005 report card:
With new grades for the first time since 2001, our nation's infrastructure has shown little to no improvement since receiving a collective D+ in 2001, with some areas sliding toward failing grades.
