Minnesota Bridge Collapse of 2007

Remember in 2007 when the Bridge collapsed in Minnesota. Harry Reid said Bush had focused on the war so much he had taken his eye of the ball

Sen Patty Murray said Bush's lack of investment in Infrastructure was freighting.

Ed Schultz- the only reason Bush is talking about fatalities is because he didn’t give MN enough money to maintain the bridge.

Nacy Pelosi- pledged to support legislative efforts to repair the nation's aging bridges, roads and schools, one week after a deadly bridge collapse in Minneapolis.

"Our sadness must at least be met with a commitment to address our infrastructure shortcomings. It's a huge task," the California Democrat said at a meeting of the National Conference of State Legislatures.

You all do remember the blame Bush,war instead of infrastructure hoopla.

So what do they blame it on today... Really you can't make this ####### up.

The day after a four-lane interstate bridge in Washington state collapsed, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is using the incident to blame Republicans for the "dangerous consequences" of the sequestration spending cuts that started in March.

"For 62 days, the American people have waited for House Republicans to move forward with the budget process and replace the devastating sequester cuts that are slashing into our country's safety net, national security, and public infrastructure," Pelosi's office said in a press release. "Yesterday, an Interstate 5 bridge north of Seattle collapsed after an oversized truck hit the structure. Thankfully, no one was killed. But the collapse of the bridge--long-rated 'functionally obsolete'--highlights the dangerous consequences of our failure to repair and invest our roads and bridges.

I'm going with the wars we are still paying for instead of fixing our crumbling infrastructure. The latest bridge failure is in my back yard to coin a phrase. Sucks, but nobody died here in Washington State at least. So that is something.
