Ido - I agree whole heartedly on your train comments! As a country we desperately need to evolve our transportation system.
Mine comment was pure sarcasim directed at Congress' (Reid's) $8 Billion for rail between LA & Vegas - like that's needed? Let the "special interest", casino owners pay for that! We tax payers might as well just flush that $8b down the toilet. AND I'm sure $8 billion won't cover 1/2 the cost of legal, enviornmental, special interests, engineering, planning, etc., before construction begins.
I really think Reid was just trying to buy votes in his home state of Nevada. Plus suck up to his cross boarder (California) sweet heart Pelosi.
Thoughtless self serving crap like this is making me more cynical and sarcastic everyday.
Bravo..you hit the nail on the head. I also say to let the banks sink. I don't understand why everyone thinks this is a "crisis"..it's only a crisis for the banks that own lots of debunked mortgages from homeowners that had to borrow 10 times more than what their house was really worth in the first place to buy it.
It's gnaws at my core when I hear that our government is making it a priority to get "credit" flowing again, when credit is the bane of our existence.If the government wants to spend the money, just give it to people so that they can buy a house for $5,000 or $10,000 at a foreclosure sale or create jobs for people who need them so they can buy the foreclosures. For God's sake, don't give the banks more money to pocket! The answer is to eliminate the need for credit. A bank should only be used to keep money safe and to make buying convenient. Banks have been sucking America dry of money for decades. We have been working for the banks and credit buroughs and it has to stop.
