Lord what cretins we have in government. It both disgusts and disturbs me that so much goes on that the American public knows nothing about. And, it is not anything good for the country, it is only good for that particular politician and their future in government. Makes me sick and we really have to clean Pelosi’s swamp soon.
There was a companion bill to Rockefeller’s bill, Patty Murray’s S. 942, which would pay for rail/port projects around the country, projects known as Gateways. S.942 is the Transportation and highway re-investment and grant act.
What this bill would do is pay for all the permits, environmental studies, extra land, and even interest on start up money for multi-modal transportation projects (trains) and all the mitigation. The bill was specifically written to fund a coal terminal in WA State that is owned by a Goldman Sachs owned company, SSA, for whom Patty Murray’s husband works. The coal, owned by Peabody Coal, would be carried by Warren Buffet’s trains. A large portion of the funding would go to Warren Buffet’s BNSF.
The Rockefeller bill was kind of a back up to this one. As you can see the bill didn’t really create any jobs, and only paid for the preliminary portions of the projects, which would create government jobs.
