Why we need to REHABILITATE rather than EXPAND a broken street and road network

Long-Term Outlook: Slow Growth And Deflation | The Big Picture.

The deepening recession and spreading financial crisis is the beginning of the unwinding of about three decades of financial leverage and spending excesses. The process will probably take many years to complete as U.S. consumers mount a decade-long saving spree, the world’s financial institutions delever, commodity prices remain weak, government regulation intensifies and protectionism threatens, if not dominates. Sluggish economic growth and deflation are the likely results.

Still worried about getting more traffic through town?
