Oh shut up, MR. BRIDGE TO NOWHERE:The committee's former chairman, Alaska Republican Don Young, noted that he had sought $375 billion in the last six-year transportation bill, but Congress had to settle for about $90 billion less because of opposition from the Bush administration [sic]
"I don't do this often when I say 'I told you so,'" said Young, suggesting that Congress pass a tax to help rebuild bridges so that people don't face a "potential death threat."
"Yes, fund this problem with a tax," he said. "May the sky not fall on me."Except with dollar bills.
