The rail system they propose is just another brother-in-law scheme to spread the wealth to everyone involved while continously having cost overruns due in part to bribes (donations) and kickback (broker) fees in addition to reimbursement schemes, material losses (transfer of materials to other job sites that they charge and bill to other projects; no overhead; more profit; the taxpayers foot the thefts er I mean losses) and every other assorted type of fraud known to man...
Good. Pull away from the Fedzilla teat.
But they will take Federal money for highways and road projects (not to mention zillions of other infrastructure programs)?
This doesn’t seem to be an honest attempt to eschew Federal dollars from the State (which I would agree with). If we paid out less to the Federal government, States would have the money to fund whatever infrastructure items they wanted ... at their own discretion.
But once you start taking Federal money for this, that and sundry, you’ve already lost credibility on the “don’t take Federal money” tack. At that point you’ve already established that your a whore, the only thing left to discuss is price and what you are wiling to do for the money.
The ticket to states rights is stop taking Federal money.
Good move. What do you suppose would happen if more states started refusing Federal money for all sorts of things?
if you take money from the feds for any reason they think that allows them to make the rules.
