“Gov. Bev Perdue says the high-speed rail project will create 4,800 jobs over the next four years”
Why is Gov. Bev low balling this job count, why not say 400,000,000 jobs? That number is just as believable in the eyes and ears of leftist, socialist big government stooges.
This rail project costs tax payers big money to start, to build and to run it until all agree it’s a bust which will be years after Gov. Bev is dead and gone.
What they are not counting on is that once they put it out for competitive bid, (which they'll have to) they'll find that the track components, control systems, and cars will come from overseas suppliers. The contractor doing the physical construction will low-ball the bid 'cause he's using foreign workers here on a work visa. In the end, they'll be lucky if there are 100 temp jobs that end up going to Americans.
