Give open borders a few more years and we will.
When you think about it in terms of what Democrats like to do it makes perfect sense.
First it is a public works project.
Second it cost lots of money, money that they get to take from people in way of taxes.
Construction firms will be seeking to have said project funded and will be sending lobbyist to politicians with open check books ready to write checks to reelection funds.
Such projects take a long time and generate a lot of profits to the firms building them. They also require that politicians continue to support them. So those campaign contributions will continue for a long time.
It appears only the God of the New Testament will free men of permanent subjugation to the whims of other men. Only the power greater than any man can free man kind.
Rail is supposedly mass transportation and good for the environment. It is also supposed to be good for the low income people who can’t afford cars or air fare. This may be true for inner city rail but anyone who has ever looked in to the cost of a trip on Amtrak can tell you, you won’t find any low income folk on those trains.
So, there you have it. All of the Democrats favorite things. Tax the people, spend the money, put money in the pockets of your buds, look like a hero for doing things you aren’t really doing.
All while doing absolutely nothing useful.
