Congress was never going to give all the money for the bridge (it was to be built with federal and state matching funds) and they didn't take any away. All Congress did was remove the stipulation the federal money had to be used for the bridge. Alaska still got the federal money and could have directed it to the bridge if they wanted. And they could have raised the state share. BTW - Palin, in her January 2007 budget sent to the Alaska Senate, rescinded the state share of the bridge funding. I'm amazed at you people's brazen lying. You could care less what the facts are.
