JF, I understand your explanation, but the needs of the nation really ought to weigh more heavily than the needs of the locals when it comes to federal tax money.

Big Dig might be justified by the fact that Boston is a major metropolitan area that serves multiple states in New England.

But Jack Murtha Airport goes a little too far, IMO. And of course, Ted Stevens' "Bridge to Nowhere" is the worst. Yet both of those could legally fit under the definition of interstate commerce. After all, how else are out-of-state trucks going to supply that remote island in Alaska without the bridge?
