This is the kind of shit that happens when you let government wonk run the world. Alaska gets a bridge that goes no fucking where while some damn bean counter tries to put the skids on a much needed rail line. With all due apologies to AlaskaMike I can’t understand why the hell Alaska would need a $200 million bridge.

DC needs more rail lines, and they need to be underground for a lot of very good reasons. If they need a bridge so bad then Representative Don Young should start selling Amway to pay for it.

Damnit.
