Those kind of assinine comments may work on liberal know-nothings, but to anyone who has a reading level over 5th grade can see the internal emails for themselves. They can read the documents for themselves.
Anyone who has lost or had a friend or family member who has lost a job due to NAFTA or other "outsourcing" knows this is not a "conspiracy"
Incidentally... if you cannot read at a 5th grade level, atleast it explains your addiction to kool-aid.
HORSEFEATHERS!
Hey dumbass, I've about had it up to here with conspiracy morons who see the sun rise in the east, set in the west, and immediately come screaming into here in an abject panic about how "The sun clearly revolves around the earth, any non-RINO with a 5th-grade reading level can see it!" Post idiotic tinfoil crap and I'll respond appropriately.
Look bud, I've worked for a railroad (union, not mgmt) and am somewhat familiar with what is going on. It isn't anything sinister like that chicken little Corsi concludes. He adds 1+1 and gets 7. Well calm down, the answer is simply 2. Basically west coast ports are reaching buildout, and imports are overflowing into east coast ports, Canadian ports (Vancouver is also nearing capacity, hence the move to upgrade Prince Rupert to handle large container ships) and soon Mexican ports. Until the Panama Canal is expanded only the smaller ships can reach east and gulf coast ports, so for some types of cargo is most advantageous to unload on the west coast and rail to the interior.
I've also researched some of the toll road proposals, and they are simply about meeting increasing travel demand in Texas, some of which is pass through trade. But every 3-4 years Texas adds the equivalent population of another Austin area, most of that growth along the I-35 corridor. It is cheaper and affects far fewer property owners to build a freeway in the country than to expand the existing I-35 a similar amount through the urban areas, hence the choice of route. By letting a toll company build and operate it (but not own, it will still be a Texas road) the state won't have to spend any taxpayer money to double capacity and it will get built 10 years sooner than if the state was paying for it. BTW, are you aware that the tollway Corsi bitches about will be built only from San Antonio-Dallas by 2015, with the extensions to the Oklahoma and Laredo borders not until 2025? If this is some grand Mexican conspiracy, why the 10-year delay in connecting to the border? Funny how Corsi left that info out.
So what if they are going to eventually use trucks, too? That's simply good business sense, not all producers are close to rail intermodal terminals. In fact there are only a handful in Mexico, and a handful more in Texas. KCS railroad (the only railroad serving the KC site) only has 2 in Texas, with plans for a 3rd. Big deal.
Corsi and one of his kook lemmings had a rant today about how there was actually going to be a sovereign consulate at the KC site, and how this was going to somehow destroy our country. Never mind that there have been numerous embassies and consulates all over this country for 2 centuries.
Calm down, do some research, read beyond these kook conspiracies rantsites, get some actual facts, and use logic and common sense. You'll be able to relax and save your energy for things that actually are of concern, instead of hunting for witches.
