<DIV>Don't know if you got this, but I thought you would have "fun" going through it to see where our billions are going. I was fairly shocked to see $10.000.000 for a bridge in Manhattan Beach. I lived there a long time, and I don't remember any bridge, or any place where you could even put a bridge. Sunnyvale is getting a nice slice of pork. Where are they going to get all the people who know how to repair roads and bridges? I shudder to think what's going to happen in five years when all the bridges built by former car salesmen and Starbucks barristas start being driven over.<BR></DIV>
