Here is what I resent about foolishness like this.

There is the absolute disconnect between something that was projected to cost $120,000 and one that was earmarked to cost $398 million.

Let's deduct the whole plan of the inner city garden from the Bridge to Nowhere, that would leave the Bridge to Nowhere on the deficit side of $397 million.

Which is the larger?

I just don't know how you can compare a project of $120,000 to one of $398,000,000. I didn't read the link, but the zeros alone gave me enough to say that your analogy doesn't hold water.
