Sure you dumb idiot!
Its kinda like the phone company giving you a $400 rebate check to switch and only to find out in your next bill that they were charging you at least twice what you were paying before, but only now you are stuck in a LONG CONTRACT and have to pay a huge penalty to get outta it!!
Yeah a Train Tampa to Orlando Brilliant\s How about the 2.4 Billion to drill for Oil?
Good one John.
Wish we had Rick Scott in VA.
Pure genius.

Senator Joyner disagreed with the Governor’s take. “Constructing this rail line would mean jobs for Floridians right now, when we most need them,” Joyner alleged.
That’s not why she’s fighting for O-B-A-M-A-R-A-I-L.
In the original Greek it is less obvious that this is satire.
HA!!!
I thought this was real too.
Are you an ex-CIA guy?
love the payment deferral to a “hopefully” more prosperous time!
BUT, while you KNOW I adore your satire, after reading the whole page, my favorite part was “House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif).” Man, do I like how that reads!
The most reasonable explanation I have been offered does not originate from its proponents, but from its opponents. And that explanation is basically that rail is a collective, centrally-planned-and-controlled alternative to individual locomotion.
And it can be claimed to run on time via the good graces of a central authority.
I find this both compelling and disturbing, given the historical precedent.
From your Madigan satire
f people know which of their neighbors have guns they can help point them out to authorities if a weapons round-up is desired. There are many anti-government nuts who wouldn’t hesitate to use their weapons against what they imagine to be government tyranny. An orderly disarming of these people will save many lives. This is another big plus.”
Katrina anyone
John both of these are so close to the truth that ,,,,,, I would laugh except these bums actually think like this
So far I’m glad I voted for Scott.
Keep it up Govenor, you’re pissing off the libs and president odumbo so ya must be doing something right.
You had ‘em lined up and going strong until someone spilled the beans.
The trains are a control mechanism and union organizing tool. If you notice, most of the support is coming from seiu unions that have nothing to gain from the trains.
Where I live, it’s the freight trains that they are pushing,coal trains. The
Left figures that they can win the support of the coal regions if they sell the coal that they won’t let them burn in the US to China at below market price they can win the votes of the coal regions.
“High Speed Rail”...like “HealthCare” ...Like “Global Warming”...all are merely excuses for formation of sinecures in perpetuity for the connected and ruling class.
Every communist government has high-speed rail. What the citizens don’t have are cars, good housing, good food, or decent work.
A visiting diplomat from Russia was traveling the streets of New York City with the mayor. He noticed men shoveling snow from the sides of the streets. "In Russia, we use plow trucks to clear the streets. It is much more efficient. Why do you have so many men shoveling?" The mayor replied, "Unemployment is pretty high now. We're trying to keep as many people working as possible." The Russian said, "Then why not give them spoons so everyone can have a job?"
I use to think that was just a joke. I didn't want to believe that people really think this way.
“The state could’ve borrowed its share of the matching funds required. How to pay back this money along with covering the operating losses is a decision that could’ve been deferred to a future and, hopefully, more prosperous time.”
****
You nailed that one perfectly. After all, that is how Dems have been spending money all along...which is why our local, state and federal governments are broke.
Thanks for the ping, John.
Quite impressive, Semmens.
