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.”

Who else would rebuild it? It’s not a private bridge.
Uh, correction:
Taxpayers, their children and grandchildren will pay the bill.
Yeah… that pretty much how it works already. I guess I’m wondering why this is something special?
I know of no bridges that are privately funded?
Why isn’t he holding the shipping company and the country of origin responsible and handing them the tab?
The people in Ohio were the wrong color and didn’t vote for Joey in 2020.
Then again, did anybody actually vote for Joey in 2020?
So does anybody know if Pete Butt-Plug is in Baltimore or will he wait a few months?

Bingo you broke his code.
It is like Biden lights cigars with million dollar bills.
Billions will be siphoned off into a democrat slush fund
You can bet if it was Texas or Florida, he wouldn’t spend a dime.
This is fantastic, as I don’t really feel like paying for the bridge rebuilding.
Great to hear that he will foot the “Entire Cost” of the bill.
Great, an opportunity for another Brandon money laundering scheme.
Great, if the Dems and Gov’t, are involved, it will take, at a minimum, twice as long to replace, and twice as much, to build.
Yeah gee, I bet they already know who’s going to win the contracts!
“Umm, what about the ship owning company or its insurance? Have they already paid off Plugs’ pals?”
Really.
That means they will overpay by a factor or ten.
“The Taxpayer will foot the bill.”
I wonder what the insurance company is going to do with the premiums the container ship paid to them.

...I doubt they will even have the wreckage cleared away before we’re out of time :-(
They should have started to replace the bridge around 2000 because you could see from the design that it was going to be vulnerable to accidents like this one.
If it is all “paid for” then there is no reason for the replacement bridge to be a toll bridge, right?
>They mean WE will pay for it.
Yes, either by inflation due to money printing and/or the costs being passed down to the end consumers.
