But wait! There's more!
Original 9/1/2015 post, "Let's transition from Walker's idiotic Canadian wall comment to a serious discussion about America's real infrastructure needs", starts here.
As quoted in Scott Walker campaign clarifies Canadian wall comments after backlash. (Wisconsin State Journal, 9/1/2015)
The word 'infrastructure' is not used in this article.
From America's infrastructure homepage:
Every four years, the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Report Card for America’s Infrastructure depicts the condition and performance of the nation’s infrastructure in the familiar form of a school report card—assigning letter grades based on the physical condition and needed investments for improvement.
The 2013 Report Card grades show we have a significant backlog of overdue maintenance across our infrastructure systems, a pressing need for modernization, and an immense opportunity to create reliable, long-term funding, but they also show that we can improve the current condition of our nation’s infrastructure — when investments are made and projects move forward, the grades rise.
More information on each of the 16 topic areas.
Previous report cards.
A typical melange of talking heads, voice-over, and historical footage with the requisite ominous background music. But, overall, worth a look.
