Iowa closes another bridge

Posted: Aug 18, 2011

I could say something snarky about the rich needing to save more in taxes so they can buy a new couch for their vacation home, but do I need too? http://www.news.iowadot.gov/newsandinfo/2011/08/iowa-9-bridge-closed-over-the-mississippi-river-at-lansing.html;

Here is another one in Minnesota - see link

MnDOT Restricts Heavy Loads on Stillwater Lift Bridge After Finding 'Significant Corrosion'. I am not sure, but I think the next closest crossing is something like 40 miles.

No need to say anything snarky, as it's understood those poor wealthy folks have it pretty rough when it comes to trying to furnish their vacation homes. I don't know how they manage to put one foot in front of the other with all those financial worries!

Here's a thought, let's have them pay even less taxes so they'll give us jobs.. LOL!

Delivering furniture? - :)

The wealthy won't give us jobs if they have to pay - more taxes.

I thought that was another job that "real" Americans wouldn't do... but yes. LOL.. that would be one.

Just ask any "real" American, and they'll tell you straight up that it will ruin the country if the wealthy are taxed.... and don't pay any attention to what Warren Buffett says. He should just move to a Socialist country!

And put on that flag pin for crying out loud!

Give us jobs? - asif

Perhaps, you haven't noticed. There is a new middle class for America, and they speak Chinese and Hindi...

No one needs to "give" us anything. Just bring OUR - jobs back to US soil, where they belong.

The wealthy have enjoyed this "temporary" tax - cut for a very long time now. (sm)

About ten years.

So why is the jobless rate so high if these tax breaks are guaranteed to bring new jobs?

If you believe this, I have a bridge to sell you. (Too bad it's closed, though because it's in need of major repairs.)

This is what I call a shame. Americans want to buy American but it all boils down to they don't want to pay the price which, 9 times out of 10, costs more than products bought overseas.

After the tea partiers who said they were behind him on his Plan B in the morning backed out later in the day, Speaker Boehner closed the House for the holidays. This all happened so fast they were literally wheeling in carts of food for a late night of lawmaking work when the House abruptly adjourned and they all walked out without voting on their own measure.

“This is just bad luck of where it hit and how it hit,” said Washington Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson. “Based on our inspections, the bridge is not structurally deficient.” Seriously? Do these people just pull comments that like out of their badonkadonk? Incredible that it took and hour and a half for anybody to get there to help them. :-( http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/24/18465755-like-a-hollywood-movie-driver-survives-i-5-bridge-collapse-into-w ...

The new TrumpCare plan: Under AHCA (TrumpCare), a 64-year-old with a $26,500 in annual income will pay $14,600, or 55% of their income. That leaves you less than $12,000 a year to live on (or $1000/month) to pay your rent, food, taxes, heat, eletricity, transportation, maintenance. Guess that fancy cell phone is going to have to go. https://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2017/03/14/keep-your-plan-maybe-not-under-trumpcare-says-devastating-cbo-rep ...
