Stealing vast amounts of money to spend lavishly is the job of organized crime. To progress their organizations, they will continuously steal more using any means necessary,
Very hard to stop.

One of the big debates in my county in FL is whether we should allow an Orlando to Miami high speed rail to build on the western edge of our county (without stopping). Not a lot of support for it except from my RINO state representative and those from the high speed rail company backing him. I heard my first ad in favor of it just today.

I lost a project b/c our governor refused to accept money for a high-speed rail project. I can understand his reasoning, though, b/c the money's not free; it's paid for by US tax payers.

My biggest problem is it wasn't really high-speed. It was a step up from a bus. If they could get trains with speed close to competing with jets, it could reduce emissions and transportation costs and be a very good thing.
