The bridge fell just blocks away from the new, $700 million light rail line. Cuz without a train and a new stadium, Minneapolis would be nothing but a cold Omaha, and snubbing the neighbors is ever so much more important than boring stuff like bridges. There's plenty of money without raising taxes. The Minnesota legislature - dominated by Democrats for decades - simply has other spending priorities. And no amount of finger-pointing will change that. Joe Doakes, Como Park, Saint Paul .

The money we spent in Iraq ensures our survival as a people and a nation, and as a positive moral force in the world. How much money is that worth? There is no number folks...but we're speaking logic here, something the left has no clue about.

The same ones who have raised inefficiency to an art form. I am really beginning to realize the the problem with our government is not necessarily with the elected politicians, but with the nameless, faceless bureaucrats that actually run the country... God bless the families of the victims and the people of Minnieapolis in their time of need.

I think I've located a lot ($50 million +)of it in Bill and Shill's bank account's, add in Algorbage becoming a multi-millionaire just from the pocket change ripped off by the dhimmi's boondoogle ENRON and WorldCom and that's a minor part of it. Then I notice that no one from Slick's administration has a job but live the high life and travel the world. Where is the trillions? MIA. A lot of stuff built a hundred years ago is still standing but anything built after or by the 60's generation (they brag they're the most educated, ever) is subject to fall any day. Proves that one or a dozen pieces of paper from left wing/communist colleges doesn't equal an education.
