It's been exactly two years since the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was smashed by a cargo ship, killing six hardworking construction workers and crippling the port. Back then, Biden's team rushed out promises: rebuild for a measly $1.7 billion and have it open by 2028.
Fast forward to today. The price tag has exploded to as high as $5.2 billion—more than triple the original estimate. The new opening date? Late 2030. That's two full years later than promised, with nothing but cranes, barges, and a few test piles to show for it. Drone footage reveals the sad reality: remnant piers still sticking out of the Patapsco River like a monument to government failure.
Democrat leadership in Maryland and the feds turned a straightforward infrastructure fix into another bloated boondoggle. Endless environmental reviews, design changes for "resilience," skyrocketing material costs, and red tape that would make a private contractor quit on day one. Meanwhile, blue-city incompetence keeps piling up—union deals, no-show jobs, and excuses galore while families grieve and truckers reroute.
Contrast that with red states where bridges and roads get fixed fast and under budget. This isn't progress; it's proof that big-government Democrats couldn't manage a lemonade stand, let alone America's infrastructure. Taxpayers foot the bill while Baltimore stays broken. Enough is enough. Time to drain the swamp and actually get things built again.
