Stimulus funds should be allotted fairly to all 50 states with no strings attached.

Or better yet the funds should be returned and used to pay down the debt!!!

Yet more rewards from Obama to his union supporters. That’s all this is — has nothing really to do with high speed rail.

Hilarious. The Rats are just fit to be tied over losing this money they can use to prop up their union thug buddies with no show jobs. Looks like the train has left the station for that.

They are a unique breed...they are both pimps and whores at the same time.

Why should Florida take a white elephant? Those trains almost never make money - and will cost the taxpayers for years... ( I believe two trains in Japan make money - the rest of the maglev’s lose money)

You know why don’t you?
1. A few politically connected individuals, mostly Democrats, stand to make a lot of money.
2. It gets us out of our vehicles and on to “mass transportation” where we are easier to control.

George Will recently penned a surprisingly good column dealing with your point #2.

They should take it and use it to build an oil refinery with a very very very short high speed rail attached.

Only you can’t call the oil refinery an oil refinery. Call it a high speed rail alternative energy source refinement system.

In 2000 Gov. Bush vetoed a high speed rail bill. In 2004 backers sought a state wide referendum and the voters shot it down. Then in 2010 the lawmakers passed another bill and Christ signed it. WTF? How can a bill continue to be brought for a vote after being shot down so many times? And in doing so go against the voters in the state? I am so sad to see our country on the road to ruins and the speed at which it is happening.

Is this what we’ve come to? The Legislative Branch turning to the Judicial Branch to force the Executive Branch to do something he does not want to do?

If so, we’re DOOOOOOOMED!

I think they should take the money and make improvements to the roads leading to the proposed railway terminal now
