When Dick Armey and the frugal Republicans of old decided to kill the Super Collider, in TEXAS, because of their fisscal conservative nature - they showed that smart or economic growth was not part of their plans. They killed a program that had already found several viaible business applications before the collider was finished. They killed a number of college engineering programs at the local universities. They ended the search for the God particle and then they went on to fund such fantastic programs as a bridge to nowhere. Genuis those republicans. Now you know why they are out of power.

Gravina Island Bridge in Alaska, better known as "The Bridge to Nowhere", was not funded.

Bill Clinton was never fond of the SSC. Without a presidential champion the deficit-weary Congress cut funding for the SSC entirely and chose to abandon the $2 billion that had already been spent.

Nice try.
