"The city is surrounded by the Passaic River on three sides and was one of the hardest-hit areas of New Jersey when Hurricane Irene caused record flooding. The river peaked on Wednesday, and nearly 4,000 people were forced to flee their homes. Paterson's economic situation is particularly dire during this recession: roughly a quarter live under the poverty level, and the unemployment rate - at 16.4 percent - is nearly double the state's rate of 9.7 percent."
Every time it floods we rebuild until the next flood. Rather like trying to heal a burst appendix without surgery. The President misses the boat, to coin a phrase, when he fails to think big on infrastructure. When existing structures are obsolete, devise new ones. If we can go to the moon we can do more than make a few lithium batteries and write green everywhere.
