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.”

The “cost overruns” will provide billions to the Demoncrats and their loyal sycophants in the main stream media. All political advertising must by law be paid in cash up front. I’m sure the Unions have already received their instructions for “payments…”
10% for the big guy
I called it!
Darn it.
I have zero confidence that Baltimore is capable of rebuilding that bridge regardless of funding. Rat controlled governments are no longer able to run a project of that magnitude without it collapsing under the weight of their corruption.
How about suing the insurance company before laying this on taxpayers?
Shouldnt it be the shipping company? Now that Joe is involved we get a union job so 4 years from now the bridge should be up and running lol.
I would think that the ship’s owner has insurance that would pay..................
Yep, cheaper for them to send a few million to FJB and get us to pay the bill.
In addition to the shipping company and insurance, what about Maryland? The Port Authority? Baltimore?
Notice how FJB immediately jumps onto paying Deep Red Baltimore, but ignored MAGA East Palestine, OH?
Congress should demand that Federal help rebuiding the bridge should come out of funds already approved in Biden’s “infrastructure” bill.
They mean WE will pay for it.
2050
After 26 years the Barack Obama bridge is open. After years of cost overruns and changes in minority owned contractors, the BO bridge is now open! As you can see, the cars are starting to go over the bridge....Hey! What’s that rumbling sound?? CUT!!!!!!!!
Any bets that the cost to rebuild the bridge is oh.....60 billion?
How about the insurance company for the shipping line pays the bill?
“We’re not leaving until this job is done.”
Where are they going?
The grift on this will be massive. Maybe tie $50 billion to Ukraine with it…
“Gee, I wonder if the insurance company that covered the ship that wrecked the bridge is off the hook then,”
Biden and other democrats are invested in the company. So yes
How is this a federal issue?
So I don’t think Trucks can go thru the harbor tunnels, correct? This bridge being out is going to cause a spike in shipping and traffic I would assume.
They do that in electrical distribution. I don’t see how it’s legal.
The Big Dig Rides Again!
You hide and watch. It'll be The Nex Benedict Bridge or some sick hsit like that.
