no, seriously.
if democrats are smart, then they'll actually build a bridge to nowhere. make work projects for all. dig ditches, and fill them back in. that way, when the republicans get elected, they can fight like to hell to keep funding for the bridge to nowhere (it's the jobs), while things like healthcare spending and social security are left off the radar.
like i say: they're going to govern, and when they govern they're going to cut. so, you set up a decoy for them to attack...
