Jericho: Build Bridges not Bombs!
People are going to think I'm picking on STL, well, I'm not. I saw the article first on CNN and then went to KMOV for their coverage.
If it was only two bridges in the entire country, that would be one thing. But it's not. There are many, many bridges and other bits of infrastructure falling apart around us.
Yet, where does the Bush administration waste my tax dollars? On a continuing unpopular war in a far away country. We will not achieve victory in Iraq. We have already done what we can do there.
But, spend that money domestically, and we might be able to win a few battles against the ravages of time and neglect.
And people wonder why I hate driving? If you aren't run over by an SUV in the wrong hands, the bridge you are on falls out from under you!

Good luck.
You would have to convince the Congress, and more importantly the voters, that it is not unfair that some states get more money than others.
The Right Coast is one big highway. So it should get more of this money than, say, Alaska. But just try to convince Sen Tube Stevens of that.
