President Joe Biden said the government would pay the “entire cost” of rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, after a cargo ship hit the bridge after losing power early Tuesday morning.

“It’s my intention that we will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge. I expect the Congress to support my effort,” Biden said in a White House press conference. “It’s gonna take some time. And the people of Baltimore can count on us, though, to stick with that every step of the way until the port is reopened and the bridge is rebuilt. We’re not leaving until this job is done.”

20 bucks says they will use this as an ad on tv saying how strong Biden in during a crisis by using tax dollars to rebuild.

[Huskrrrr]

Uh, correction. The Taxpayer will foot the bill.

[kiryandil]

It's AWESOME that "the government" will use its "own money" to pay for this, and us taxpayers are off the financial hook.

Ten percent for The Big Guy, of course...

[mikey_hates_everything]

Umm, what about the ship owning company or its insurance? Have they already paid off Plugs’ pals?

Gee, I wonder if the insurance company that covered the ship that wrecked the bridge is off the hook then, and is Biden going to settle the wrongful death claims of the missing (presumed dead) persons who literally fell off the bridge at taxpayers expense, too?

[Paladin2]

No, it will be my grandkids paying for the new bridge.

[Michael.SF.]

No investigation into the cause, no asking for an insurance claim

. It’s just tax dollars, why worry?

[blackdog]

Wow! Doesn’t the commercial shipping cargo vessel have any liability? Gosh! I remember the old lady they hounded down to hand her a $72 million bill for setting a forest fire due to overheated brakes on her camper van....

[McGavin999]

So he’s letting the cargo ships owners off the hook? Must be owned by someone who has given 10% to the big guy

Federal disaster relief funds and existing protocols for their disbursement already exist without Santa Claus Joe’s intervention.

[Belteshazzar]

President, Shmesident, Joe is king.

Too bad the people of Ohio didn’t get the same kind of treatment when the railcar released toxins into their air.

[Ciaphas Cain]

Oh f-ck we’re in DEEP trouble.

[Enterprise]

And the contracts are now being drawn for minority owned and employed contractors. No whites need apply.

[BradyLS]

Oh, so it's free then? 🙄 /S

[Cen-Tejas]

Typical moron, imbecilic democrat!

The shipping line and the insurance company should pay all of it as the situation appears at the moment.

If Terrorism is proven, then maybe not.

[elpadre]

Certainly the shipping company has some liability.

[BigFreakinToad]

no bet
