The Big Dig was never about transportation. It has always been about diverting government money to a socialist city and state government which otherwise couldn't support itself. The sad part of the whole affair is that the politicians who reaped the benefit of this fiasco will go scott free. In fact they will get all of the credit for the money distributed and none of the blame for their corruption.
I am waiting till they announce somehow v.p. cheney and halliburton is somewhat involved or responsible because they are company partners I believe
As the big dig was winding down, I began to see bumper stickers advocating completing a rail link between North Station and South Station. Obviously the contractors and unions saw this as the next construction boondoggle. I mean if they could talk us into the "Big Pig" they could talk us into anything.
