spending power, internet's plumbing
Editorial: Health Care and the States
It
would be a serious mistake for the Supreme Court to use the states’
rights argument in the reform case to restrict Congress’s spending
power.
Spending power is conferred to state and federal legislatures through their constitution. Judicial review of legislative spending varies from state to state, but the law of federal spending informs courts in all states.
Spending Soars on Internet's Plumbing
The
need to reach customers and employees over the Web is driving furious
demand for server systems, the machines that power corporate computer
rooms.

PLUMBER：鉛管工.、水電工、水暖工 ?
第一次注意到我們的「水電工」（這詞有意思，因為兼做兩專業……），大陸是這樣稱呼的。這字眼應該在百年前就有（所以日文為「鉛管工.」），不知道為什麼到現還在各說各話。一種可能是：以前的建築對這些問題不管…….
「我为何当上水暖工?
IT经理出身的女水暖工珍妮特：不管经济状况如何，谁家的马桶坏了，水管漏水，都得修好它。英国的水暖工短缺，靠此谋生不错。」
