Why are the politicians rushing to have taxpayers pay the full cost of rebuilding the Baltimore bridge when there is a shipping company and insurance companies who should pay. There is a long history of fixing maritime disasters being funded by the responsible parties. Why are Republicans rushing to throw away money we dont have.
@QuichePhilDemocrat2mos2MO
The shipping company has already begun legal action & intends to use an 1812 maritime law to cap their liability at $43 million. We can't wait for this to go through federal court.
Got any other questions?
@Pr0gressiveEddieVeteran2mos2MO
Lets see if that number doesn’t change due to inflation as its no longer 1812z.
@QuichePhilDemocrat2mos2MO
Apparently, that's the most recent law on the books. Guess everyone's been too busy for the last 200 years to update it.
@PonieEllaWorking Family2mos2MO
They don’t want a proper investigation.
Why would that be?
That’s the question that must be answered.
But common sense and serious people know it’s because it was a deliberate act and they don’t want it exposed.
@TranquilOryxDemocrat2mos2MO
There was no terrorist attack, no cyber attack,it wasn't deliberate, the captain didn't pass out because he was vaccinated. Enough with that BS. You're an American embarrassment.
@CleverDovesSocialist2mos2MO
You're only saying that because it's in a state with a large black population and run by black people.
What because asking it not to burden those black tax payers is racists?
@CleverDovesSocialist2mos2MO
It's so funny to watch racist people cry racism when they're called out for their blatantly and obviously racism. The projection is unreal.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution2mos2MO
He's not racist at all. You used a straw man fallacy and abusive ad-hominem Spartan tactics to accuse him of holding positions he never claimed to hold. It is morally reprehensible to go around calling anyone who dares disagree with a word you say "Racist." Stop it.
@JealousGr4ssrootDemocrat2mos2MO
1st, a major pipeline is underneath the bridge. Secondly, it's a Singapore ship chartered by a Danish co.
You are the master of outsourcing. I disagree with your approach in the 90s.
We should control it, streamline it, and get it done. Modernize the port too.
@GutturalViperLibertarian2mos2MO
When has the government EVER succeeded at streamlining ANYTHING? Control, yeah, they're real good at that ... but invariably with horrifying unintended consequences

Government officials will always spend your money to buy votes for themselves. They get more powerful, productive tax payers have more taken from them.
Are you seriously questioning why republicans protect large corporations over their own citizens?
Grab a coffee and pull on up. This will be a long discussion!
@Patriot-#1776Constitution2mos2MO
Because the "Republican" party is infested with fascist neocons instead of traditional conservatives. We don't have a "Republican Party" we have a Socialist uni party with two branches, the Republicans and the Democrats, who are all anti-liberty statists who want to control your life. The solution to this problem is not to wait around for these spineless morons to save us – it's to use the constitutional powers of the States Legislatures to Nullify Congress's omnibus spending (Amendment X).
