Too bad your Governor turned all that down, and you now have to pay millions for him to borrow money on a state level that the Federal Government was going to give to you out of funds already appropriated.
Have fun with your state tax increase. You're still sucking hard at the teat of Lady Liberty, right? You are still using airplanes, airports, driving on interstate highways, buying OTC and Rx drugs, and food?
You know, if you folks that are so anti-government would just put your money where your mouths are, and give that up, you would decrease demand and maybe achieve your goal (in opposition to the founding fathers) that government doesn't do crap for the common good.

If the high speed rail can't sustain itself without government and or tax payer funding why would you do it? Would a business build a new plant knowing that not only would the plant not make $, but it would never break even and continue to cost them money every year? Also the rail that was proposed was not high speed (you can drive your car faster) and it was not economical and went absolutely no where.
