The Bridge to Nowhere Will Keep Going Nowhere

It's not often that I agree with the Sierra Club, but when you have Republicans wasting money like Democrats, I have no problem calling them out. Here is a link to a press release from the Sierra Club announcing that Congress has defunded the huge pork project slated for the state of Alaska. This $200+ Million bridge was going to connect the town of Ketchikan to a small island inhabited by 50 people. Eventually, the noise made by the American people became too much to take, so Congress is dropping it. I just wish the American people made noise about the other billions of dollars of our money being spent by politicians on vote buying schemes that benefit their home states and home districts.

Good Day to You, Sir
