To all of those talking down the economy and constantly harping about how bad things are for political reasons may very well get what they wish for -- complete wipeout of our economy. The end result of that is NOT what everyone is wanting whether they realize it or not.

yup, hock knee’d in debt and a high speed rail plan is what he comes up with, total joke.

I think’ll i build a train line, probably run them from dem city to dem city with no stops in republican land.

Some effects of Hussein's new plan...

Barack Obama intends to award $8 billion in stimulus funds to develop high-speed rail corridors and sell the program as a jobs creator.

Any business owner along a rail corridor in Houston will tell you...go to hell!

Years of blocked roads, cost overruns, excuses for slipped completion dates, hazardous electrical leakage, total disruption during flooding (which happens regularly in Houston), and on and on....

It is always a boondoggle....but all that cash flows to the left....always the rail supporters....and who rides the rail?

The economy isn’t bad because of talk, its going down because this government is punishing investment and spending us into a debt load that can never be repaid.
