Did the the leftoids finally found a "legit" reason to raise taxes? And Couric is their mouthpiece...

My head just exploded! -

That should've had a "duct tape alert". Glenn Beck
warns his listeners before news like this, to wrap their heads with
duct tape, so when it explodes it will keep all their brains
together for future repairs.

Well, Katie, maybe someone should ask the taxpayers if they would rather spend $1.6 trillion on amnesty for illegal aliens, or repairing bridges, tunnels, and pipelines. Why do they always assume everything else stays the same and the latest crisis has to be fixed with NEW money (read: new taxes)?

I feel great compassion for the families of the dead in Minnesota, but since Couric is being a ghoul in using this event as a tax weapon it is time a few Minnesota facts come out.

First, the media has described this as a catastrophe. No this is a bridge which fell apart and a few people died. A catastrophe is New York City being bombed by a nuclear weapon by terrorists.

Second, Minnesota is one of the worst taxed and regulated states in the Union. I will not reveal how I know all their charms but to be an EMT you have to do about as much schooling as a doctor to just pull dead people out of wrecked cars and they have the wonderful income tax and run billion dollar budgets.

Third, Minnesotans have always had it too good. They had iron ore, barges, farming, incredible businesses. They have developed into a state of Ted Turners who think like as it happens in Atlanta the whole world cares a bird poops. Minnesotans are self absorbed pompous rectals who think not having a million dollars to spend is a hardship about not like having a hundred bucks in other states.

Fourth, Minnesotans in the iron range and Twin Cities are socialists as in Soviet Union socialists. They import terrorists like on 9 11 and illegals like nothing matters. They elect Muslim Brotherhood terrorists like Keith Ellison to the US Congress.

In all of that they are already with hand out telling the United States they will need 150 to 300 million to rebuild a bridge their inspectors thought was great as of 5 oclock yesterday.

In that these Minnesotans are building a new major league baseball stadium, perhaps the Twins could fund their own stadium and Minnesota could build a bridge they are responsible for.

I would like to remind people that Minnesota wants 300 million for one bridge. I know in every state of the people reading these blogs they have bridges like my state which are closed, have those cute "cross at your own risk" or some places like West Virginia they have to walk across a board and come back after their car later.

Someone should actually ask how much an Army pontoon bridge costs as this silly bridge was designed by Minnesotans for the purpose of one span to not interfere with river traffic.....the problem is there is one below it with piles in the river and right above the bridge there is a flood control where no boat can go.

The bridge that came down was an idiot design which showed yesterday if one piece broke the whole thing broke. That all for one span "for the beauty of Minnesota".

Let Minnesota make the choice like the rest of states. Do you want extortion taxes now driving gas prices up to be used on one bridge or do you want a Twins stadium? Let all those 140,000 Soviet drivers guzzling gas driving daily over that bridge put into practice their Al Gore worshipping green.

Pretty simple in Minnesota can choose a bridge or a stadium.....or they can invest the money they are throwing away at a billion dollars a year inviting illegals and terrorists into Minnesota and clothe, house and feed them......and put it into a bridge.

As I said I have sympathy for the families of the dead, but the minute a rich state thinking they walk on water builds a dufus bridge and it falls down.....it is their problem and the state of Minnesota owes America a bridge not the other way around.

Some person who's entire job is to read a prompter and present the news is somehow magically qualified to suggest government policy.

Five or six network newscasters think they have all the answers to all the woes of humanity ....

What's worse all to many people buy into it.

And they wonder why we call them biased....

Cutting spending is unthinkable! Waste doesn't exist! Katie, the reason your ratings are so low is that you're so wrong in your ideology, and when you try to preach those opinions instead of reporting the news, people resent it. And we can easily prove you wrong, the internet means you're not Cronkite or early-Rather, so you can't get away with traditional media bias like they did. For the sake of your ratings, you might want to try telling the truth for a change.

Like a good Democrat, Katie never misses an excuse to raise taxes. I

Couric's rather uninformed opinions are about as valuable as a pile of coal in Newcastle.

With people like Couric, and the rest of the numbnuts in the Democratic Party, it's always "raise your taxes". Give your hard-earned money to some nincompoop to waste. In city after city, it's build a sports stadium and the let the "sheep" work harder and harder to support the lifestyles of the rich. We have plenty of money to build bridges and work "for the people", but it's not happenin' baby. Orlando, Florida is another example. The crime rate is soaring and the Democratic Administration supports building for entertainment. Sadly, it's measures will pass. The average worker in Orlando will ultimately get his taxes raised. Lambs to slaughter. What a surprise!

 P.S. Isn't it ironic that people coming home from working to pay their taxes are killed on a crappy bridge.

NEVER,NEVER trust a liberal

A $ trillion for "universal healthcare", a $ trillion for fixing the bridges, a $ trillion or two for medicade and welfare for the illegal aliens that you want to give amnesty to...

Pretty soon we'll be talking about some REAL money.

First of all, your Mindless Perkyness, it is the responsibility of the state governments to inspect, maintain and repair the bridges of the interstate system that are located in their respective states.

Perhaps if the state of Minnesota had been on the ball instead of trying to buy votes with this nonsense, that bridge would still be standing.

Help Fred defeat everybody.

They already have spent the necessary money.  Problem is the money keeps getting diverted to dead weight social welfare programs and political payoffs to Dem supporters.  Keep bringin up the rear, Katie.
