The people are lucky the bridge deck held their cars up. The media never ceases to stretch the facts. Take Moore Oklahoma by sunset the day of the storm they were all reporting 51 “confirmed” fatalities. Next morning that rose briefly to 91. Then quickly dropped to 24. Zero would have been much better. Media

Where are all the lawyers? Who can I sue? What about my injuries? Who will pay for my car repairs? Perhaps if more dollars weren’t diverted to welfare, infrastructure wouldn’t collapse.

If it’s an Interstate Bridge, then it isn’t a State highway.
It’s Obama’s fault.

Not often, but the bike paths are well groomed with the tax dollars that are supposed to be for roads and bridges...

Maintenance and jurisdiction over the interstate highway system has been turned over to the states.
That’s why New York can charge a toll on the NYS thruway, which is, IIRC, part of I-90

This is what happens when you skim 30% off highway funds before spending the rest on bike trails, rain gardens, and public transportation.

What a coinky-dink...a bridge on the NYS Thruway (I-90) collapsed back in 1987; killing 10 people.

Ike was actually inspired by Japanese Emperor Taishō---after World War I, while planning for a theoretical defense against a Japanese invasion, the future Allied Supreme Commander tried to lead an Army convoy from Washington, DC to the West Coast to see how long it would take to respond if Imperial troops ever landed in California.
Ike didn't get very far. The convoy got stuck in the mud in Emmitsburg, Maryland, and from that day forward, Ike began thinking about building better highways to connect east and west coasts for defense purposes.
So, it's the Japanese's fault.

Three trillion-with-a-t in stimulus and absolutely nothing to show for it but debt and rusting bridges.

I think both experiences formed Ike’s outlook. The U.S. Army was very grateful for the autobahn (and the Ludendorff Brücke, which was expressly built for the defense of the Reich).

I thought the Stimulus Bill was supposed to have fixed these infrastructure “shovel ready” projects. Just where did all that money go again?
