Bridge collapse in Washington State


Recommended Posts

From what I have been told an oversized flatbed hauling large drilling equipment hit a support beam ok the bridge which resulted in the bridge failing.

Don't let facts shite on the narrative. We need another trillion dollar stimulus because of this don't you get it? Edited by Dante

Just heard someone bitching on the radio that it's the Republicans fault that the bridge wasn't built to standard because it was built to the standard that was in place when the bridge was built. :wacko:

Gotta admit, lefties sure are embarrassing themselves these days. The WH has FUBAR'ed any trust the public has with liberals, so no matter what happens, the left has no choice but to blame someone else from another party.

 

- Tornadoes in Oklahoma and hurricanes in NY? Republicans refusal to sign on to Cap and Trade.

 

- Bridge falls? Republicans refusing to spend on infrastructure in spite of a Democratic stimulus bill passed to put people to work on...wait for it...shovel-ready infrastructure jobs.

 

- IRS targeting specific political groups to silence their opposition? Bush appointee.

 

- Four Americans murdered in Benghazi? Republican's not funding security because of a sequester created by and signed into law by Obama.

 

- The whole world hates Obamacare? It's because Republicans refused to sign on.

 

You'd think fewer people would want to be a Democrat just to avoid the instant pussification label.

Was that the sequester that was in effect on 9-11-12?

Not that sequester. The other one the GOP is always talking about because they're so obsessed with cutting costs for the war on terror that is almost over.

 

Soon to be followed by the "War On Shippers". First it was a large truck taking out a bridge, now it's trains taking out another bridge....

Don't worry... The Prius can make it over a collapsed bridge faster than a gas hog!

 

The Highway Trust Fund:

 

"The fund gets its revenue primarily from federal gas and diesel taxes. But revenues aren't keeping up because people are driving less and there are more fuel-efficient cars on the road."

That must be the whole reasoning behind ethanol. It not only !@#$s up engines, causes world-wide food shortages but reduces mpg, thus causing more taxes.
