There has to be an Atlas Shrugged analogy in there somewhere.

Reminds me of that song: Once I built a railroad, made it run Made it race against time, Once I built a railroad, now it's done, Buddy can you spare a dime?

Or $53 billion?

"let’s spend $53 billion on high-speed rail"

And that would only be the beginning, since the ongoing maintenance of this system is going to be large......and that's without all-union labor.

Biden: Let’s spend $53 billion WE DON’T HAVE on high-speed rail.

Look at it this way; Willie Green would approve.

[Biden: Hey, let’s spend $53 billion on high-speed rail...]

Good idea and then we can tar and feather all you morons and run you out of town on it.

"Seems like he has a conflict of interest."

Slo Joe's son Hunter was on Amtrak's board of directors.

I suspect the Old Gaffer probably didn't pay for any train tickets during those years......

Perhaps Joe Biden is actually James Taggart.

but there is no form of transportation which is more evolved.

Actually, this is not true. A camel is a horse designed by government bureaucrats!! Now THAT'S evolution!!!

I’ve seen many a drunken sailor and they never were as stupid or reckless as Old Joe. They might blow their whole paycheck in one or two nights, maybe borrow $5 for $6 payback for an extra night, but then even THEY had the sense to stop spending.
