Le Shorter: Infrastructure gets a D

The United States spends $10 billion a month in Iraq. The Iraqis are refusing to maintain infrastructure given to them by the U.S. This aging interstate bridge in Minneapolis collapsed into the Mississippi River on Wednesday. The American Society of Civil Engineers gave U.S. infrastructure an overall "D" grade in a recent report. Clearly this bridge deserves an "F" for failure.
