you know for sure it will be taxes?

they cant do the responsible thing... the thing that all Americans have to do... cut one thing to pay for another, more important thing?

thats the main problem today and why we are stuck in this mess, we cant seem to cut anything, but just want to steal more from the taxpayers and borrow more from China to pay for new things!!

politicians literally act like 15 year olds when it comes to spending.

No. It could be magic. Or voluntary donations.

apparently you think cutting spending in one area to pay for another project is Magic. Now I know why you support Obama so much. You'd fit in perfect in "status-quo Washington".

You're right, I didn't mention cutting spending. That is because the Wisconsin budget already seems slashed to the bone by Walker.

Walker could fire some more teachers, I guess.

To be fair Walker did not fire any teachers. The only teachers that lost their jobs are as a result of their union not willing to compromise. But again it is all about the kids

Still waiting for proof that high speed rail will be profitable or even self sustainable....

That's not true. Do you even read your papers in your state? The teachers' union immediately agreed to all Walker's budget cuts in their pension and health care. Immediately. Why are you saying differently? That's not remotely true.

Are you going to hold your breath? Your previous legislature thought it would be a great thing for the state, as do all the other states that accepted it. Illinois sure jumped on taking the extra money Wisconsin turned down. Gov. Walker says no, and turned it down.

Guess you'll just have to wait 10 years to see the actual outcome.

The only teachers that lost their jobs were from MPS who ram rodded their contracts in before the bill passed and refused to reopen them. All of the districts that implemented Walkers reforms are seeing benefits and many are even seeing surplusses. Yes the poor teachers actually had to contribute a very small portion to their pension(which most people don't even have) and a small portion of their cadillac health insurance.

Please show me anything that stated that high speed rail would even be self sustainable. Do you know that the "L" in chicago which is highly used is not self sustainable?
