First, I have no clue who Bruce Bartlett might be.  I guess I am among the 10% who didn't get the word.

But I do have to say this.  The bridges in the DC area are in critical need of corrosion control.  Most probably know that tour buses can't use Memorial bridge because there is a real risk that they might become Potomac River fish habitat.  But as I drive dear overpasses and take the walk/bike trail under I395 close to my apartment, the level of corrosion (rust) on the support beams is frightening.  And corrosion abatement and control is a labor intensive task, so correcting that situation would definitely be a place to start.

and if you EVER complain about potholes where you drive, I invite you to drive in Panama.  More than once did we think we might have left parts of the rental car suspension laying in the highway....not to mention bruised kidneys and the like.
