It is clear that you have no interest in discussing the ramifications of this proposed highway. Your dismissive attitude speaks volumes of ignorance. JMO, the economice benfits of such a highway more than outweigh any tin foil theory "ramification".

I agree, Yes this may cost some jobs but it will create even more. When did the American worker become afraid to compete. The people in these countries need us to provide the capital,( Stock Market up)Market the products( good paying jobs), sell and distribute them in America and the profits come back to this country. These are good paying jobs. But we seem to be afraid we cannot compete.

Remember that the first time there is a major accident on the hyper-slab which takes out the rail, gas and electric facilities co-habitating with the highway.
You want to talk about economic benefits? How about the 'benefit' of local communities and/or states being forced into providing additional police, fire and rescue services for the inevitable pileups that are going to occur?
Ever see a gigantic chain-reaction crash caused by 'black ice'? Multiply that by the size of this 4-football-field wide structure and think about THOSE 'economic benefits'.
And let's not forget about the tendency of illegals to drive without insurance, now THAT will be a real 'benefit' when it turns out that the local victims of any mishap will be picking up the tab for the emergency services and resources expended.
And those aren't 'conspiracy theories' Ben, those are real life possibilities that would concern any rational American, which is probably why you share Dane's dismissive attitude in all this.
