Quote:I doubt you will understand this... But, war or not, it wouldn't matter. Bridge and road building isn't sexy like light rail, or hiking and biking trails. The politicians, Republican and Democrats alike, have driven the funding into the realm of vote pandering wretched excess, rather than boring old infrastructure.
Good thing there are a few common sense stalwarts in the Senate who just won't take no for an answer when it comes to bridge-building.
Like Ted Stevens.
