The world's most expensive half a bridge is falling down. What were they thinking building a bridge where it could get wet. A bridge conceived by California bureaucrats (Jerry Brown and Willie Brown), out sourced to China, overseen by CalTrans engineers, what could go wrong?

A classic example of government procurement and construction in this day and age. No problem, the taxpayers will be forced to pay for it yet again and nobody involved in it will be held accountable.

Did the California Blueberry Commission weigh in?

Yes, there is really a CA government agency that pertains to blueberries. That's how sick CA's government is.

The corruption and favoritism is running rampant thorough the American political system from top to bottom. Honesty is looked upon as weakness and theft from the government coffers is considered the right and privilege of all who do business there. 17 trillion in debt and the waste and theft goes on and on. Farewell, adieu, auf wiedershein, goodbye.

Meanwhile, Canada can’t build the bridge that they’re paying for across the Detroit river because Obama won’t release funds for approaches and related infrastructure on the American side.

Apparently we’re still being punished for the RTW vote.

Made in China. That’s all you need to know.

We in MA could have told you this. Remember the Big Dig, billions over budget and leaking from the first year.

Well, look at it this way. With all the rework needing to be done till the 22nd century, no one will need question when will the bonds used to pay for the bridge be paid off so the toll booths can be removed.

King Willie is not too keen on having his name tied to this albatross in the bay.

from 1.6 to 6.6 billion in the end..

CalTrans outdid themselves this time.
