We are already familiar with your stance on illegal immigration and big government.

Remind me about my stance on those subjects.

This time the government is apparently handing over private property to foreign interests(Cintra).

Handing over? Like land was handed over to build the interstate highway system? Like land was handed over to build the school up the street from my house?

Todd, your posting history speaks for itself :(

Who owned the site used to build that school? If the property belonged to a private citizen, were they/he/she properly compensated? See post 49. Schools, hospitals, interstate hwys, improvements are worthwhile and benefit the citizens of the particular community, ie taxpayers who pay for such improvements for their use.

Of course this has gotten way off topic by focusing on the implications regarding the Kelo decision.

There was a small victory in Pasadena CA, regarding a fwy extension. The 110 to be exact. It’s worth the hassle to drive through town to hop on the next leg of fwy, rather than lose historical homes and neighborhoods.

Personally, I’d like to see how much damage this super hwy will cause. I want to see a map with actual towns and cities that will be affected. Until then, I’m basically running off at the mouth. I know one thing though, and that is that an American firm should be given top consideration for this project.
