Who said it was the Feds responsibility? I didn't.

Yes, it is Indiana's responsibility to fix. However, if Indiana decides, "oh, well, we're broke, so we will do without" and decides not to fix it, Kentucky can, or the Feds can certainly come in (because it carries a federal highway, and is a major national transportation route) and fix it.

Indiana doesn't have any money saved to fix the bridge, btw. They are broke.

So would you like these bond issues (increased taxes) spread over just Indiana's citizens? If they say no, they don't want to pay more taxes, then I guess the entire country loses that major transport route over the Ohio carrying a federal interstate highway?

Or is the financing partly Kentucky's, as Louisville and KY benefits greatly? So should KY have some increased taxes to help pay for it?

Or maybe some federal funding would help? Because the nation and commercial transport uses that bridge daily?'

It's hard to be libertarian and "states' rights' when we live in an interdependent nation of united states.

its because you are a socialist that you dont see that there are such things as state rights.

The founding fathers were hoping there wouldnt be people like you in America.

[Antitrust32]

better yet, I bet Indiana can cut something less important from their budget to fix something important like this.

[Antitrust32]

that is what is called budgeting. Something our politicians, and apparently you, know nothing about.

Completely unable to discuss state vs federal responsibility, huh?

[Antitrust32]

the federal responsibility has become WAY out of hand... it is nothing like what our founding fathers hoped for.

Blah, blah, vague generality, blah, blah, anger and name-calling, blah blah.

OK, I'm convinced.

So it is a TAX, right? Since it's NOT a retirement or investment program. Why then is everyone so interested in defending this tax?

The program sucks. It should be OPTIONAL. Let people out of it. Write them a check for everything they had stolen from them over the years - even without interest, they will make out better than actually collecting payments later. That's how much of a pig this program is.

I'm a socialist and a Cleveland Indians fan. Will you murder me to make AMerican better??? Sometimes I jaywalk as well. A socialist jaywalker living in the reddest state in America concernced about the health of Josh Tomlin. The founding fathers never imagined a sot like me in existence. socialists and libertarians have zero say in america however so it's all meaningless. we's getting the texas two step, mittens, or more barry. They's all the same and you's all know it. there's a war on terror after all goin on. not nothing else much matters at all. social security is a non issue, they's all in cahoots to get rid of it any way be it texas man, mittens or barry. why even discuss it at all. murdering me would solve lots of problems I guess I think. Rick Perry...simply awesome beyond words!!! Luv him with all my heart.
