Construction begins on Mo. bridge, believed to be first project under federal stimulus plan
This strikes me as something that directly stimulates the economy. Protecting the salt marsh mouse of San Francisco bay is an example of things that were rammed into the bill that have nothing to do with economic stimulus. They may be nice things to do but they shouldn't have been attached to this bill. It's that kind of action that exposes the proponents to accusations of pork.
"Construction crews have started working on a replacement for a rural Missouri bridge within minutes of President Barack Obama's signing the $787 billion stimulus package."
Just think of how good it would be for the economy if they could extend this bridge from Missouri to that Island in Alaska that has the Ted Stevens Museum and 5 Eskimos on it!!!!
