Democrats always quick on the trigger to spend YOUR money.

What about those responsible for the “accident”.

I could not hate that perverted old crook any more than I do now.

Don't sell yourself short - I'm sure you'll be hating him even more...any day now.

Oh, dear.

The POTATUS said the quiet part out loud.

Note to Yellen: You can’t unring a bell, sweetie.

“The shipping company better pay for it and or its insurance company”

Especially since the ship was operated with systems in known defective condition.

Did the meat puppet go off script or is the assumption that the audiences they pander to won’t notice the discrepancy?

He did he forced everyone to lower their standards if living.

Joe has a new Biden family revenue source. He’ll just add 10% to the cost of the bridge...maybe 15% since it’s our money.

Biden spoke without permission. I’ll bet he’s in BIG TROUBLE now.

I was surprised (actually not that much given who made the statement!) that we, the taxpayers are supposed to foot the bill.
It is obvious who caused the accident - the shipping company. They should pay! They have insurance, capital, boats.
It may bankrupt them, and maybe then somebody - State of Maryland, City of Baltimore, maybe even federal government would have to chip in.
But the guilt is obvious and they must pay all they can.

I guess, Biden wanted to show how government can be helpful, or he is just senile, probably both.

48% DO they not understand percentages? Gas price now versus Jan 20, 2021 are double. That’s 100%.

They should pay the cost to cover the Key Bridge.

The Feds should design an updated bridge (suspension bridge like in SF or Chesapeake Bay) and cover the rest of the cost.
