1. But...

...the magic market fairies will fix it! Ayn Rand said so!

I wish everyone in america could see this.

8. Actually, the free market probably caused this.

Truck was doing 65 in the right lane, driver claimed he couldn't get in the left lane where it would have fit without issue, driver claimed he couldn't stop in time after the pace car's clearance pole hit the bridge. (Amusing since he never slowed AT ALL)

Why was he going so fast? In a hurry for a business schedule?
Why didn't he have adequate warning from his pace car?
Why didn't the pace car know ahead of time the right lane was verboten? DOT publishes all that.

And, at the end of the day, they were hauling a giant piece of shit for the oil industry.

9. I believe that this is the GOP's grand plan

Starve the budget until the infrastructure crumbles.

The GOP will scream that government doesn't work and
we can't afford to fix the infrastructure, and will start
selling off everything public.

Basically Profitizing oops, I mean Privatizing all things Public.

Mark my words.

11. I'm sure you're right.

2. In response to an article ...

on this subject in my local daily rag's comment section, I posted:

President Obama had an App for that ... http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/jobs_act.pdf (See: Section 2)

But House and Senate republicans (and a few democrats) voted it down. Maybe they'll re-think that this time around ... But if the gop response to Oklahoma is any indicator, I doubt it.

The ensuing response cried "We're Broke."

My response: I got an App for that ... http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/349223/%5Btitle-raw%5D-patrick-brennan

4. Thank you for the comment, 1SBM!

[IrishAyes]

12. Glad to hear it.

Now would you come and explain that to the nutters where I retired?

On second thought, never mind. It wouldn't make a dent in their foam rubber brains and I'd like to see you survive to keep on fighting for the cause.

13. I went back to the site ...

and the nutters were out in force ... no substantive comments, just &quot PresidentP Obama Bad."

5. I demand to know, Mr. Speaker.....

How many billionaires are lining up to use their tax cuts to fix this bridge????!?

[mountain grammy]

6. But Congress still approving funds for military spending even the military doesn't want.

Who will save us from these bloody fools? I saw a comment somewhere that all broken bridges should be renamed for Republican members of Congress. Let's start with the Boner Bridge to Nowhere.

7. No worries at all guys.

We'll just send Canada the bill.

10. infrastructure

Even a dumb as criminal like hitler did grasp that without an infrastructure germany was not going anywhere.so he fixed it.makes me wonder why. Republicans,the very people who enabled that fine man,do not get the idea that a country only can work if it has something to work with.
