But the TTC is not considered "private use." You really need to think this kind of stuff through.
A position that is debatable. It is not really "public use" is it when it merely pits importers against domestic production and transport. Especially since it is evident there is already plenty of infrastructure for transport. This needs to be more fully thought through by you, when you look at the facts as to who really is the beneficiary of the expropriations. There is an ulterior motive for the TTC.
Even the White House has openly acknoweldged as beneficiaries...the Importers of Chinese and East Asian manufactures. [The explicit monetary justification for...and incentivizing the whole project...and diverting around the "spendier" longshoremans' unionized ports in U.S. West Coast states] As against domestic Producers. As against domestic cartage.
So of course, the Import Lobbyists are not for real free trade. Certainly not within the country. They are for misusing governmental authority to abet subsidizing themselves and their interest...the imports. This is why I have often noted the import lobbyists are phoneys. They are no longer, if they have ever been, for free trade.
They are expropriating to abet their segment (imports)...and adding injury to insult...the domestic manufacturing firms and cartage firms are going to be TAXED to support this governmental intrusion on the market.
