Joe Biden: Government Will Pay ‘Entire Cost’ of Rebuilding Baltimore Bridge
Breitbart ^ | 03/26/2024 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 03/26/2024 12:41:37 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.”

Pretty free with other people’s money, as usual. And BTW, since when does the executive branch get to tell Congress what to do?

“...government would pay the “entire cost”...”

The goobermint has NO money; it’s OUR money they’ll spend, as usual, and waste 75% of it on idiocy.

After the union workers take a year’s worth of union breaks, union lunches, union weekends, union holidays, union vacations and union sick days.

City, State and Federal are mentioned but this is a State of Maryland owned bridge designated as a Federal Interstate Highway spur route so it will be better lt by he state to conform to Fed Interstate standard as well as MD DOT standards. On most interstate projects the Federal Interstate programs cover up to 90% of the cost. Biden is taking credit for something that Eisenhower started.

Liability for damage is a seperate matter from reconstruction.

The government doesn’t pay for anything. A subset of the people aka taxpayers will foot the bill.

Whatever the insurance companies pay will come from the people as well. Companies and governments are pass through entities.

Exactly what I was thinking. Government paying to get it fixed and then pursueing the company for reimbursement makes sense to me.

In port, the ship pretty much had to be under control of the harbor pilot.

Who employs the harbor pilot, they should be held responsible.

(and was dei involved in the harbor pilot’s training?)

This bridge is in Baltimore, a dying city. Doesn’t look like it even is all that necessary. Clean up the debris, don’t rebuild it.
