Obama Calling For $53B For High Speed Rail
Antisyzygy writes "President Obama is calling for $53B to be appropriated for the construction of high-speed rail in the United States over the next 6 years. Assuming Congress approves this plan, the funding would be spent on developing and/or improving trains that travel at approximately 250 miles/hour, as well as spent on connecting existing rail lines to new developed high speed lines."
Way To Be Ol' GOV! I can really appreciate the strides you are taking to cut spending and eliminating the national debt! Hey while you're at it, why don't you just raise taxes 40 or 50 % and start sending more money to support foreign militaries and rebuilding foreign countries (after we spend the money to destroy them). Don't worry about Americans who don't have homes, or children who don't have parents and are starving here. After all! the people of other countries are so much more important than people of this country right? Oh, I just LOVE YOU Obama! Thank you for all.. no wait... I wish this country would rise up like Egypt and Tunisia and kick your ass and the whole of the government (all those eldery individuals are living in a fantasy in which we still exist when they were 18 - 20 *WAKE UP!*) out on their ears and completely revitalize the original government and freedoms that made this country great, sparked inovation and brought us to World Power Status in short order. Bring our troops home, have them protect us on our Shores, help us with what needs done in this Country. That is all.
