bonus quote of the day

from a comment here that reviews the poor condition of the bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis.

No new taxes, bridge collapses.

The bridge was rated as being 50% sound, ie in need of rehabilitation/rebuilding.

This could the chickens of the Reagan-era slash and borrow tax policy coming home to roost. As ironic as Al Capone getting pinched for tax evasion if the world’s remaining superpower crumbles — literally — due to a misguided understanding of municipal economics.
