Congress and Bush Waste $464 Million

I knew before that the Transportation Bill included $464 million for some bridges in Alaska that even the residents don't want. Really, how isn't wasting taxpayers money like this illegal? Now to add insult to injury people suggest that the money could be better spent on Katrina (and Rita) reconstruction and Don Young (R-AK) says "They can kiss my ear!". This would be funny if it weren't so unbelievable.
