Compassionate government?

So you're the person who wants the government to take over our care medical care systems.

Is that the same government that allows this kind of tragedy.

I'm sure this bridge has needed replaced for some time but probably ran into all kinds of delays in funding, environmental studies, who gets political credit, etc., etc., etc.

How would I know?

Because we have this very tragedy brewing right here in the Cincinnati area. The Brent Spence Bridge joins I-71 and I-75 across the Ohio River. The original capacity of this bridge was 80,000 vehicles a year and now traffic exceeds 150,000. It's needed replaced for the past 20 years and we're as close to getting it done today as we were 20 years ago.

At least once a week, a serious accident involving injuries or death occur on this bridge as a result of the increased traffic. Many times these accidents tie up the bridge for hours resulting in lost productivity for the area and it's citizens.

Can you get a politician to address it.

HELL NO!

So if you are one of those idiots that believe compassion can only be measured in how many dollars a government spends ask one of the seven families killed yesterday in the Minneapolis accident how compassionate the government is.

And if you are one of those congressman or senators responsible for funding the replacement of bridges across the country; How can you look at yourself in the mirror knowing you're responsible for this?

Compassion my ass.
