President Biden vowed Tuesday to rebuild Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge after it collapsed into the water when a cargo ship rammed into it, echoing what some Maryland officials said earlier but adding that he expects the federal government to foot the bill.
“It’s my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge, and I expect the Congress to support my effort,” Biden said in remarks at the White House. “This is going to take some time, but the people of Baltimore can count on us though to stick with them at every step of the way until the port is reopen and the bridge is rebuilt.”
He said he spoke with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) on Tuesday morning, as well as Maryland officials including its congressional delegation and two U.S. senators. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg traveled to the Baltimore site.
So, just to recap.
First, you complained that Biden is nothing but empty promises.
Then you complained that taxpayers have to pay for the bridge (if it was an empty promise nobody is paying for it)
Now you’re complaining that it’s all a waste of money and nothing will be accomplished anyway (do you think we, as a society, are incapable of building a bridge?)
It kind of sounds like you’re just going to bitch and moan no matter what.
I remember Trump shutting down the government. Do you think this situation is remotely similar? Does half the population not want this bridge in place?
If that remake does happen, you’re not the one that’s going to be keeping your memory. You can’t even seem to remember what point you were trying to argue when you can just scroll up and read it again.
Just recap:
12 hours ago you randomly insulted me, deleted the comment, and now 12 hours later youre trying to start an argument again in the same thread and close it out with more insults?
Why would you think I wouldn’t just block you?
The state of /politics.
Lemmy is a great place…
Until you mention Biden isn’t perfect.
Start talking about his flaws and lots of accounts start sounding like trumpers.
It’s incredibly depressing to see this is what the “good” party has come to
I dunno what kinda stuff you’re into but check out Second Thought on YouTube.
Also Bernie has a podcast now?
There are like minded people out there.
