$150 million? That's about the cost of ONE bridge over a major river! Tip money on Capitol Hill!

Any money stolen from the taxpayers for such nefarious programs as this is too much. Even if you think its chump change, you show disdain for the founding principles of individual autonomy over one's possessions (like money) in your comment.

Actually I'm showing disdain for the idea that $150 million in funding for a road will bring down the country. $150 million won't even pay for the road.

There's a hugh and series difference between wasting $150 million (reprehensible but unimportant compared to wate in the ten of billions elsewhere) and destroying the country. Then again, obliterating any sense of proportion is necessary to sell whack conspiracy theories, isn't it?
