We have written before about the critical need to invest in this nation’s infrastructure
(here, and here and discussed it at our April 9 panel ). The Sunday New York Times “most e-mailed” story is Thomas Friedman’s opinion piece on this crisis and the election.

In his article he explains that while the rest of the world is investing in “nation building” and their infrastructure, we are not. He says, “If all Americans could compare Berlin’s luxurious central train station today with the grimy, decrepit Penn Station in New York City, they would swear we were the ones who lost World War II.”

He continues, “We are living on borrowed time and borrowed dimes. We still have all the potential for greatness, but only if we get back to work on our country.”
