What the heck is this about? $342 million (means eventually several billion) for the crap when we are underwater already in debt.....I sometime feel like I am in an alternate universe watching a comedy movie....

I know exactly how you feel! I am beginning to think I am insane.

Tell your newly elected governor to grow a pair like our newly elected Gov. Walker did in Wisconsin. The train between Orlando and Tampa is as big a joke as the one between Milwaukee and Madison that we just KILLED. High speed rail is a boondoggle everywhere but maybe the east coast between Boston and Wash DC. This keeping up with Chin the Chinaman has got to stop.

Nobody beats the FedGov when it comes to pissing money down a rathole. Money that doesn't even exist, no less.

Picked a fight with Jim Robinson. Hardly the act of a wise and prudent man. Wrote his opus and walked away before the lightning could strike.

I look forward to the day when people can travel to and from the major city and university centers in Florida, creating a mega region slum.

I’ll second you on that one. Watching the missing BeeGee brother at the presser today he was asked why those states couldn’t use those funds for projects they actually wanted to implement. Gibbs answere that because the way the law was written it could only be used for those high-speed projects. Do you think one of those useless “journalists” in that room would have followed up with a question asking where in the law was it written it could then be given to another state? This is a comedy that isn’t funny.

I also don’t want to see my federal gov’t in the transportation business, but I have a hard time getting upset about a few of my tax dollars going for something I’ll occasionally benefit from while I pay orders of magnitude more money just in fraud and waste for programs that pay people to produce nothing such as EITC, Section 8, food stamps, unemployment ‘insurance’,
Let’s see changes in some big ticket items that will actually have a real impact on our taxes and reduce our debt.

I’m curious...How many people need to travel between Orlando and Tampa each day and not have a car when they arrive?
To: ScoopAmma
I think “journalists” are schooled that they can never question a fellow lib. {caaaack}

“Tell your newly elected governor to grow a pair like our newly elected Gov. Walker did in Wisconsin.” I plan to do exactly that as soon as he takes office.

Didn’t the good folks of Florida pass a referendum saying they did not want to pay for this boondogle?
