explosion causes buildings to collapse in NYC

[hangover]

Con Edison of New York said that the explosion probably happened because the the gas lines are 70 years old. This is what happens when business gets tax free status, there's no money to fix infrastructure.

Because of republican politics, all our bridges and roads are crumbling. How are you going to get your groceries and clothes if the deliveries can't be made because the roads and bridges are impassible?

Isn't the total cost to modernize US infrastructure like a Trillion dollars? Probably hard to get funding for fixing old bridges and pipes until they collapse or blow up killing people.

Republicans, eh?

Well, let's see if the facts support your assertion.

In the last 100 years, there have been 18 Governors of New York. 13 of the 18 were Democrats, including the last three.
In the last 100 years, there have been 16 Mayors of New York City. One was an actual Republican.

Hmmm...could it be you're full of shit? Golly, looks like it.

But cons don't think twice about spending $5 trillion on the Iraq/Afghan wars. Cut spending, but God save the Pentagon.

You ever hear of Con Edison? The pipes are their responsibility

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Fixing utility lines.....is now the responsibility of the Federal government?!?!?!

Now you understand why Progressive economies fail 100% of the time

Your art of deception needs work. Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg have been mayor since the start of the century.
Cutting spending on infrastructure is the republican ideology, you know it and so does everybody else.

Michael Bloomberg was an independent that acted in every way, shape and form as a Progressive who was just SURE he knew what was best for everyone else.

Rudy was the ONLY full-on Republican.

Notice no snappy comeback about the DOMINANCE of Democrat Governors. Hmm...

Fail.

Cutting spending on infrastructure is the republican ideology, you know it and so does everybody else.

Ah! The "Because you say so" retort! When you have no facts, logic or reason to back up your claim, it works every time...

Now off you go.

Installing and maintaining gas lines is the responsibility of Con Edison in New York. The Federal government has nothing to do with this infrastructure. Old bridges are repaired with the revenue from the gas tax that the Federal and state governements collect.

You can blame Con Ed, you can blame the gas tax, but when people die because stuff doesn't get fixed, it's the fault of the government for deregulation and giving corporate business a free ride.

Typical drone response. "Blame ******, blame righty, blame anyone but me." You must be a miserable SOB to be around you know that. Most of you progressive drones are among the angriest people I have ever had the displeasure of knowing.

But all those Democrat mayors could have more than offset any spending cuts, and they didn't did they? And did either Giuliani and or Bloomberg have a majority of Republicans on the unicameral NYC city council? I can almost guarantee you that they did not. And if you can show me how a mayor can cut spending without consent of the city council, please do show.

Everybody knows it's the cons that have cut funding for infrastructure, education, Social Security, Medicare, Food Stamps, Welfare, and family planning. Everybody knows that the cons have ballooned the pentagon budget to $1.5 trillion a year. They wasted $5 trillion on Iraqis and Afghans, and tell the American people to get fucked.
There's still plenty of moron southerners that want to see the demise of the U.S., so they will still keep putting moron cons in congress. But the vast majority of this country will vote against the bigoted GOP. The vast majority want their money spent on roads, bridges, education, healthcare and taking care of grandma. They don't want to see millions of the poor and elderly thrown out on the street. And they don't want to see all of America's wealth spent on stupid wars.
The south will eventually realize they've been chumped by the cons. The GOP is getting smaller and smaller. The GOP is 95% white male. The white male is now the minority, and cons are losing many of them. The greedy, the bigots, the haters, and the war mongers will always be a small minority. And that's the base of the GOP.
