4 years ago today, the 35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed as the result of slash-and-burn politics not wanting to pay to fix or replace it. Today, in a bitter irony, the United States Congress passes slash-and-burn "austerity measures" so that another one of these tragedies almost certainly happens again. Don't be fooled; slashing-and-burning government budgets to protect the fat cats has real-life consequences.
