From Big Tent Democrat here.
BOBBY JINDAL: While some of the projects in the [stimulus] bill make sense, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending. It includes . . . $8 billion for high-speed rail projects, such as a magnetic levitation line from Las Vegas to Disneyland . . .Louisiana's transportation department plans to request federal dollars for a New Orleans to Baton Rouge passenger rail service from the same pot of railroad money in the president's economic stimulus package that Gov. Bobby Jindal criticized as unnecessary pork on national television Tuesday night.So much for Bobby Jindal's "principles."
We could use some of those high-speed rail lines in Florida, plus better public transportation. Tax everyone at a fair rate and get the money to finance what has to be done. No more breaks for the super-wealthy. That strategy has failed miserably.
