Ice Storms and Fiscal Stimulus

New England still has 100,000 homes without electricity a week after an ice storm. People are missing work and school and much time and money is going into putting the wires back on the poles. This happens every year, maybe not on this scale, but every year thousands lose power due to winter storms. Why are we not burying the wires?!

There's a job that could employ many now and improve economic efficiency in the future.
