Regarding the Philadelphia train crash, the blood of the seven dead was not dry on the tracks before Democrats attempted to convert this tragedy into political capital. Congress was deliberating Amtrak funding and, in keeping with Rahm Emmanuel’s maxim to “never let a good crisis go to waste,” Democrats immediately asserted that the crash was related to an “infrastructure failure.”
Obama’s White House mouthpiece Josh Earnest got in on the act, saying, “The president has been a leading advocate … for investing in our infrastructure.” He added, “Unfortunately, we have seen a concerted effort by Republicans for partisan reasons to step in front of those kinds of advancements.”
According to investigators, the train was traveling over 106 mph, or twice the posted track speed.

There isn't enough money to build infrastructure sufficient to overcome stupidity....bet the dumbocrats certainly want to try - to get all the money they can!
ReplyDeleteNot exploitation, simply pointing out facts.
ReplyDeleteThere was a bill on the floor to improve safety measures for the railway systems that was shut down by republicans the SAME DAY as the crash. But yea, blame dems for trying.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats, sucking the blood of the dead since 1913
ReplyDeleteAmazing how so many countries have trains traveling in excess of 200 mph yet here in the "exceptional" US, we can't even safely exceed 50 mph on the most heavily used rail line in the country. This is definitely a failure of infrastructure.
ReplyDeleteI think we could solve the problem with another gun grab and ammo buy up.
ReplyDeleteYeah thats the ticket.
Betcha didn't know that all our trains are controlled and monitored automatically all over the country, as well as all the track switches?
ReplyDeleteOne idiot speeds the train up past twice the speed limit and can't remember a thing?
Okay...
