It's the same DC Metro that you remember, only now it has run 25+ years with only minimal maintenance done to keep it from derailing/catching fire. They even succeed in meeting this low bar at most of the time.
Who knows what rot the funds were spent on instead.
This is just more within the great body of evidence that proves the District and its citizens are unable to manage themselves. The only question is who ought to manage it: Annapolis is already full of corrupt and incompetent Democrats who mismanage the whole of Maryland, and Virginia couldn't absorb the District without upsetting their present delicate balance and casting them to the same fate (not to mention that they already took back the piece of the District they initially gave).
Perish the thought, but I think I'm suggesting that letting the District revert back to Congressional control might be the least dysfunctional thing that we could do.
Salaries. Right now it is just a jobs program. Transportation has little to do with it.

I have thought that at least VA would be better off if it gave its share of the District back . . .It would weaken the Va. Democrat Party, as least . . .
