New Bridge to Nowhere

It's those centrists with their new bridge. Jonah Goldberg:

For certain Beltway centrists, the highest principle is to prove that you are attached to no principle. Rather, your duty is to split the difference between the “ideologues.” If one side says we need a 1,000-foot bridge to span a canyon, and the other side says we don’t need a bridge at all, the centrists will fight for a bridge that goes 500 feet and no farther, then pat themselves on the back.

The moderate bridge to nowhere. They doubtless think it's intelligent design.

P.S. Remember, Republicans proposed a stimulus for the half the cost with twice the jobs. They didn't just say no, they were given no say at all.
