Some, actually most in WI say you and other States (especially IL) are idiots!
You really don't get it!

So why are you so freaked out about what happens in other states?
You're not getting the high speed rail. Whew! You are saved! You are not getting the huge federal grant that went with it, that pays for millions and millions of repair and upgrade to what you already have. Your Governor tried to get those federal funds back, and failed. Now he's gotta borrow millions and millions of dollars, at higher interest than the federal funds, at more expense to the taxpayers, putting his "balanced budget" millions in the red, (oh, yeah, and 47% over budget now) and you have to pay for it personally. And all you have in the end is the antiquated rail you have now
Yay! Enjoy being so smart! Be sure to laugh at the other states in 10 years, suffering through their economic development corridor growth and their high speed rail transit hookups to other business centers. Fools!
