Business networking site LinkedIn goes public tomorrow, and could act as an indicator of a tech bubble. Companies are looking into electric trucks as gas prices continue to rise. Commentator Robert Reich explained that understanding the U.S budget means taking a look at a change in the way the government is financed. And Kai also spoke with Morgan Spivey, shop foreman at Energy Services International in South Vicksburg, Miss., about the levee he built to anticipate the coming floodwaters.
