The one than most people...That just makes no sense. The one than most people seem to agree on is we need to replace the aging bridge that supports millions of U.S. and Canadian jobs. A joint U.S. Canadian study that began in 2000 to find the best place to build a new crossing located it a few miles downriver. Even if the Bridge Company somehow got a permit to build a second bridge, it will be financed, like DRIC, by Communications guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039487955952973487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35718918.post-14403119224927507592011-04-12T17:57:29.537-05:002011-04-12T17:57:29.537-05:00I disagree.

Plus, The Michigan Truth Squad showed the Moroun family was lying. <br /><br />What a ridiculous analogy. A tiger fan and the most prominent political leaders from both parts support the bridge.

Not only that, but it’s a straw man because it will not happen. <br /><br />Again, traffic is down because of the Bush recession, the longest and deepest since the Great Depression, as well as the near collapse of the auto industry.

If Commie Guru says it, I'm more inclined to immediately discount it because he's rarely factual on anything. <br /><br />There are two sides to this story about the bridge. Snyder, Granholm, and Engler are fans of it. So what? The Detroit Tigers have millions of fans around the country, that doesn't put them in the World Series each year. <br /><br Not Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263978142551394876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35718918.post-41835608196321363102011-04-12T15:47:43.577-05:002011-04-12T15:47:43.577-05:00You haven't answered the big question.

Canada is not "giving" us anything. It's just fronting the money.<br /><br />The traffic over the bridge is well below that of a decade ago.

Easy, Canada is covering our cost, and I’m certainly not the only one saying it; Snyder and Calley are just a few; off the top of my head. Yes, Canada expects to get paid back; through tolls.<br /> Actually, the legislation was introduced last session, and again in January. <br /><br />Yes, the numbers are accurate, but they are not Communications guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039487955952973487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35718918.post-91795953679374330622011-04-12T13:44:50.064-05:002011-04-12T13:44:50.064-05:00I'm not a Moroun fan, but I'm not sure you...I'm not a Moroun fan, but I'm not sure you know what you are talking about.
