Sen. Amy Klobuchar says: "Bridges in America don't just collapse."

She's said it at least three times now in press conferences and interviews since last night. Every time I hear that it about sends me through the ceiling.

Wake up, Klobuchar. There's a price to pay for privatizing and outsourcing the government. The public's safety and welfare just doesn't matter to modern "public servants." We were warned about the bridge (and others) years ago and those in power chose to give tax breaks to the wealthy and fund an immoral war instead.
