You know, instead of funding a Bridge to Nowhere, why not fund Bridges to Somewhere? Because 70,000 bridges in the US are rated as deficient. Replication of the horrible tragedy of the Minnesota bridge collapse can be avoided, I think, if we drop the stupid earmark / pork spending and fund rightful improvements. ETC: This money could have gone toward something useful, like - you know - infrastructure repair. (Via Glenn Reynolds) (Why does John Murtha have any credibility at all with anyone?) |
