Gold Diggers

So since I'm in a group that build power plants, we're big on commemorative displays - e.g Golden Shovels [everywhere].... so I don't think we've broken ground since the economy tanked and we became all concerned with how we "appear" to the rest of the world (despite our success)... well my point is... will we continue to use golden shovels to break ground or will we switch to the home depot varietal to keep up [er down] with appearances?
