From Guerilla News Network:
Engineers released their findings this September and, using a grammar school grading system, they assigned grades to describe the state of disrepair they found.
The country's roads got a D+. Aviation infrastructure got a D. Schools a D minus. Wastewater treatment facilities, a D. Dams, a D. Hazardous waste storage a D+. And, even though the nation is a major oil producer, the energy sector got a D+.
In all, the experts said it would take more than $1.6 trillion over the next five years to bring the country's infrastructure up to modern standards.
Oh, wait. I bet you thought I was talking about Iraq.
