America's Infrastructure Gets Passing Grade
The American Society of Civil Engineers reported today that America's bridges, dams, roads, drinking water, and transit systems failed to receive a failing grade. Further, condition of bridges and dams were no worse than in the last study in 2001. In an unrelated story, a man graduating with a 'D' in Medical School earned the title of 'Doctor'.
Taxpayers are hopeful that money earmarked for infrastructure spending might be diverted for more immediate needs such as the upcoming wars in Iran, Lebanon and Syria.
