[quote=afx114]It’s not just the water itself that is an issue, it is the infrastructure. A large percentage of our water supply is lost due to cracks, holes, and seepage from our crumbling delivery system. Some of our systems were installed at the turn of the century and if they aren’t replaced soon our water issues will get that much worse.[/quote]
Infrastructure projects!!! 🙂
Seriously. I hate bailouts for lenders and borrowers, but am 100% in favor of infrastructure spending and govt spending on research and development in healthcare, energy and transportation technologies. It’s not so much about “jump starting” growth as it is about keeping people employed (and maintaining social order) as we transition from a debt-based to a savings-based economy.
