Yeah, conservatives are probably right. We don't need an infrastructure bill...

[LeftofLeft]

Sure, sure and what is that exactly?

14.5 billion for the Federal Communications agency? Numerous grants and items under specious projects like “healthy streets”?

 

[pknopp]

We have ALWAYS used long term municipal bonds to fund infrastructure

Pay for the bill. It's what the Democrats promised. Remember? The rich will pay their fair share? When do you suppose that will happen?

 

[Rambunctious]

However, they're wrong.

Wonder how the Congressional delegation from PA voted on the bills.

What are you talking about we already passed an infrastructure bill republicans voted for it too....maybe Joe took his chunk of the money first...he is the "big guy" you know....and the big guy needs to be paid....

 

[rightwinger]

Exactly. Too much of a coincidence. Just like it was a "coincidence" that Covid showed up right before the last presidential election.

Whenever Republicans Fuk Up they create conspiracy theories to explain it

Why does the State of Pennsylvania need a Federal bill to upkeep it’s own infrastructure?

That bridge was owned by the state of Pennsylvania, and the state of Pennsylvania was responsible for ensuring it was safe.

The state of Pennsylvania failed.

The fact that the state failed shouldn't really surprise anyone, though, as the Governor of Pennsylvania is a democrat...

No state pays for all of their infrastructure.

What is improper?
Can you show EXACTLY a what is in those expenditures that are improper

 

[Rambunctious]

We have Congressional elections in nine months

I would like to see all the Republicans in Pennsylvania who voted against funding infrastructure have billboards placed in their district showing the collapsed bridge

YOUR Congressman voted against repairing our bridges

19 republicans voted for the bill and it passed...maybe Joe took his cut and nothing is left....

 

[Natural Citizen]

.

And the People of Pittsburg can take care of their own fucking bridge ...
Or at least go through the trouble of hiring a company more qualified to maintain it.

We don't have to spend money we don't have ... Because they won't spend money to fix their own bridge

.​

^^^ Pretty much this ^^^

It's a waste to put broadband in rural areas?

Yeah, so it was with rural electrification and roads too...

13 did douchebag.

But thanks for playing.

I am not on the rich bandwagon. But how much is enough? If someone is taxed over 50% is that acceptable? It seems it is not enough to you. What is rich? I am not in that. Now earning low millions is different than higher millions and then billions. We do not separate these things.

 

[Natural Citizen]

You've got issues man.

White man's boyish ones.

My goodness. You're quite the deep thinker.

 

[Polishprince]

Pittsburgh is run by a radical African American mayor, who apparently has other "issues" like affirmative action to deal with. I wonder if the engineers he has looking at the bridges were chosen for their race or for their qualifications?

Good for them

Let those Republicans who voted against it explain their vote

Here are the 19 Republican senators who voted for the bipartisan infrastructure bill | CNN Politics

The US Senate passed a historic, sweeping $1.2 trillion bipartisan package on Tuesday by a bipartisan majority vote of 69-30 to shore up the nation's crumbling infrastructure with funding for priorities like roads, bridges, rail, transit and the electric grid.

You are wrong as usual jackass!....

Yeah, so it was with rural electrification and roads too...

From a low tax era where people took care of themselves to a socialist era where the government pays people off is different. Government has become too expensive. They led the way in many ways but leaving the real visionaries take the reins now is our only hope of competing with the Chinese and others.

They did...but you watch PBS and CNN and probably missed it....

The state is eligible to apply for Federal funds to repair aged infrastructure

The Republican Representatives in Pennsylvania voted against it. Let them explain today’s collapse

”I didn’t think Infrastructure funding was necessary”
