Why does Baltimore have to pay for rebuilding the bridge. The big cargo ship should be paying for it.

Exactly, why do we have to pay for other's student loans.

Baltimore will get the money from the Federal government, the Federal government will get the money from ... the same place they're getting the money to forgive student loans...

Limited liability. It's an insurance thing

@@xtiger8025 We should tax the rich to pay for that since they are the ones who benefit the most from and educated public.

Tax dollars are going to waste more than the bridge to nowhere in Alaska decades ago. 2 billion dollars is outrageously overpriced and criminal. There's no way on God's green earth or costs anywhere close to a few hundred million dollars. How anyone other than the crooks getting this extorted money can even think about paying that for any bridge is beyond me.
