Texas Governor Rick Perry is being called to task by an author and investigative journalist for vetoing bills that would have blocked construction of the controversial Trans-Texas Corridor.
Dr. Jerome Corsi has been one of the leading voices warning the American public about the consequences of the Trans-Texas Corridor, which will be part of a superhighway -- purported to be four football fields wide -- that will allow Mexican trucks to enter the U.S. and traverse the core of the country all the way to Canada. The best-selling author asserts that Governor Perry cleared the way for construction to begin in his state when he vetoed several bills passed by the Legislature that would have stalled the project.
"Governor Perry has been 100 percent gung-ho in building this road," says Corsi. "The Legislature voted a two-year moratorium, it voted a redefinition of eminent domain -- [and] Governor Perry vetoed them. [On] at least one of those measures, he waited until the Texas Legislature was out of session so it couldn't even override his veto."
Corsi says it is unfortunate that there has been political pressure to get the project started. "The Federal Highway Administration's lawyer wrote letters threatening the Texas Legislature to cut off federal highway funds if they got in the way of this Trans-Texas Corridor," he says.
Corsi believes the same pressure will be applied on other states, like Oklahoma, to go along with the project. He suggests that would mean a loss of more American jobs and could pose a threat to U.S. sovereignty.
ah...that is the wonder of many people thinking about similar things. : )
Great minds..............................
indeed...we have very great minds, lol!
I'm sorry, but in a capitalist system, all profit is not greed. In a socialist system all profit is greed. As for me and my business, I prefer the former. If you can get the capital together and do it for zero profit, put your bid in. Only a true socialist would call stockholders, "greedholders".
No, only a true socialist would justify selling out America by having it SINK to Mexico’s level as corporate greedholders profit; the result of the greedholders and sell-outs is that three countries are equalizing as American taxpayers foot the bill for the “equalization”.
A capitalist system would not have CONTRIVED "free" markets, as is going on with NAFTA and the NAU.
But its not supposed to exist it’s not real it’s black helicopter stuff !
Yea Right ...
Cintras will be leasing our (NJ) toll roads too. It should be known that these lease agreements carry non-compete clauses. Meaning, roads not owned by this lease cannot be kept in better or more accessable condition than their own.
These toll road leases include any road that is decided to have a toll put on it too.
Exactly. Real "free market" there, ain't it?
"'Governor Perry has been 100 percent gung-ho in building this road,' says Corsi.

Should also be pointed out. Banco Santander Central Hispano, S.A is blacklisted for trading with Iran, Syria and Cuba. Yet, Santander has participated with an IPO with Cintra.

Free market is only available to cartels. That is capitalism after all.

What is happening to our country? What is happening to our Constitution? Democracy? Capitolism?
Is it all about money? We are being sold out by the almighty dollar?
A lawyer with a briefcase will rob more from you than 12 armed men.
bttt!
JR, I don't understand why BQ has been banned. She is a loyal patriotic conservative American.
That man can't open his mouth without lies coming out of it.
Not only that, but as we found out in Indiana, we can’t build any roads that would compete or harm the tollway’s business.
I wonder if he has taken courses from Baghdad Bob?
