Feds to Minnesota: ...

MANIFESTO

As Digby points out about the bridge collapse in the Twin Cities:
[Y]ou cannot look at something like this and not wonder if the years and years of infrastructure neglect at the hands of GOP propagandists who have been starving government for decades now is finally coming back to haunt us ... "No New Taxes" has been the rallying cry for decades now, but nobody ever said how we were supposed to pay for the things we all take for granted. And, of course,when things like this happen, the wingers blame the government and everyone decries taxes even more.
The Bushies, of course, don't care even though it's an interstate—and thus federal—highway system. As Tony Snow so typically put it: It's Minnesota's problem.
