Eye Opener: Deadly overpass collapse in Ohio
JANUARY 20, 2015, 7:01 AM|Tons of concrete crashes onto traffic in a deadly overpass collapse along a major highway in Cincinnati.
Does this on purpose (too ridiculous to call it an accident) surprise anyone? If it does, it shouldn’t. There are 1,000’s of situations like this just waiting to happen. All the while we have our politicians sitting there with their heads where the sun doesn’t shine trying to figure out which country they can give more of the taxpayers money to.
I have been blogging for quite some time about the decay and accidents waiting to happen with of our infrastructure here in the good old US. Our politicians would rather give money to countries like Pakistan instead of taking care of our own country needs with our infrastructures repair being on top of the very long list.
According to some reports, the USA gave Pakistan 19 billion dollars since 911. I think it is a hell of a lot more. They are just one of the recipients of the USA’s stupidity.
Included in the list of infrastructure that need immediate attention/repair are bridges – roads – water lines – sewers; the infrastructure is crumbling beneath our feet and our vehicles.
Fellas; talk about solving the unemployment problem? We can put 100’s of 1,000’s of people to work by repairing our infrastructures. The people that are able to work but refuse to get their free-bees cut off; pretty simple.
You have to have the backbone and balls to be a leader and not worry about being popular. If you wanted to be popular you should have been one of the degenerate stars that so many people with half a brain would die for.
Here is an eye opener for you; according to the USA Today there are 65,000 not 6,500 or 65 bridges in the USA are in disrepair and need immediate attention. That staggering numbers is a mortal sin on the people that control the purse strings. If construction started tomorrow, it would take decades to even put a dent into their reconditioning.
Anyone that lives in the northern part of the country knows what the condition of the roads are.
Water mains that were put in 100 years ago and should have been replaced 50 years ago are blowing up left and right. Sewer mains that are as old as the water lines are collapsing all over the country swallowing up cars and sometime houses.
Most politicians are like some people that wear dirty underwear and a $2,000 suit; as long as they can put on the front and no one sees it, they have skated. As long as there are no pot holes in front or 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. all is well in the world of politics.
I spent some time in Haiti in the military and witnessed the deplorable living conditions of the people there. All the while dictator Pa Pa Doc and his brat son Baby Doc lived in the lap of luxury, their people lived in squalor. I was shocked. Today parts of the USA are not much better off. Many of the people Haiti were getting their food from the garbage dumps.
When the leaders of any country put themselves before the people that elected them, they are a disgrace to themselves and the country they represent. They should put their lives on the line for the people that elected them, not visa versa. Need I say more.
I don’t know if these people are living in fantasy land. Don’t they understand that sooner or later all of their disregard to the important things in this country is going to come and bite this country in the ass or has already? It is absolutely pathetic.
How many more people have to get killed before they start the repair ball rolling?
I will bet on one thing for sure; the people that are responsible for the collapse of the bridge in Cincy are now on a place to The Sun-Shine State hiding out. No one will stand up and take responsibility.
Nothing is going to change in the USA under its present way of doing business.
We need people in office like The Donald that do not owe anyone anything, are not politicians and are not afraid to chop off heads figuratively speaking if necessary. The people we have in office now only care about the party or their personal gains and agendas. Like Trump or not he has what it takes to turn things around.
It is a crying shame; out of the 317 million people in this country, we have such a sorry selection to chose from at election time. If we took money out of the equation, it would be a very different story.
Is it absolutely ludicrous that anyone would spend over a billion dollars to get elected? That in itself should tell us something; they are buying their way to the White House.

The U.S. sent approximately $37,680,000,000 overseas in 2012 for foreign aid, according to Finance Degree Center, a website dedicated to finance education.
I wonder how many bridges – roadways – sewer line – water lines could be repaired or replaced with $ 37 BBBBBB? That give-away was just in 2012. Multiply that number by at least 20 years of handouts. Is some of the aid necessary? Yes but the majority of them an absolute no.
I would love to see the give away politicians donate all the cloths their kids are wearing, all the food they eat and all their spending money to people that don’t belong in this country or some other worthless causes.
Time to change your dirty underwear fellas; it is long overdue and you stink like hell.
I don’t know how many different ways I can say; charity begins at home!!!
Whether the suits like to hear this or not, it all boils down to total incompetence.
