I would like to see how this canopy was attached to the building, it looks like it cantilevered out.
$200 billion towards rebuilding America's infrastructure would have been real stimulus -- and a smart investment in the future.
I agree... but this wasn't public infrastructure that collapsed.

I just watched a show on our failing infrastructure and thought the same thing. As much as I detest Obama, why couldn’t he have championed the creation of a program to fix the infrastructure? It could put experienced construction crews to work and offer apprenticeships to those wanting to learn a trade; kinda like a construction CCC from the Depression. But I guess that’s too easy, huh?
