California OKs funding for high-speed rail line
JUDY
LIN
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- California lawmakers
approved billions of dollars Friday in construction financing for the initial
segment of the nation's first dedicated high-speed rail line connecting Los
Angeles and San Francisco.
The
move marked a major political victory for Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown and the
Obama administration. Both have promoted bullet trains as job generators and
clean transportation alternatives. . . . . .
This high speed
rail project is the nation’s first outside the Northeast muni-complex that
feeds New York City.
Theme
In California, this project will be 30 years to completion, if, in
fact, that [completion] is even
possible. Understand that Democrats
have never understood how money issues work on a balance sheet. Their Utopian dream is the central issue and supersedes
the logic and necessity of fiscally
responsible outcomes.
Example One:
The ObamaCare Tax
Act is a recent example. In drafting
this legislation, the Marxist hordes who
wrote this thing rolled Medicare into its purview and, in so doing, insured that ObamaCare will never survive
financially. It makes no difference to some that you
cannot take half a trillion out of a Medicare program that is already 39
trillion in debt, add 30 million into that program, and ignore the
need to train and employ 160,000 additional doctors.
Example Two:
Moving passed the
financial disasters of Medicare and ObamaCare,
we have Social Security with its 17 trillion in unfunded liabilities
and, now, growing at the rate of 10,000 a day for the
next 15 years as the Boomer enter that program.
Conclusion:
Nothing Democrats
do in the name of “fairness” is vaguely responsible or financially
plausible . . . . . nothing. And,
now, with the last four years, we now know that they cannot even author a
sound financial statement. They do
not have the know-how. So they skipped
writing a budget for gong on the fourth fiscal year and their organizing leader [B Obama] could not get a single “yes” vote on three of his past budget submittals. Nancy Pelosi nor Hapless Harry Reid voted for
these budgets !! Obama’s submittals garnered
97, 95, and 414 votes AGAINST without a single vote in favor. How does that happen? One would think that some Democrats would
vote for these submissions.
Anyway,
they clearly do not know what they are doing and no longer need to be a
part of the political theatre.
“But Bill
Clinton gave us a decent economy,” some
will argue. Indeed, but Bill Clinton was a Governor before he was
a president and he was not Marxist, One World pig. He understood politics and
diplomacy and negotiations and compromise.
Obama and the present-day class of morons leading this country understand none
of this. Oh for the days when the political debate was
between small government types on the Right and normal liberal people Left.
And now we have
this high speed rail nonsense. The first
130 miles of rail will not accept passengers and will, in no way, pay for itself. And,
if the GOP does as well as they did in 2010, there will be no federal money coming to California
for this idiot’s project . . . . . . . and everyone, “everyone” I say,
knows it. But, in the words of the most rabid Utopian
thinkers, “Reality be damned.”
