ReplyDeleteYeah, good luck with that. We don't even want paved roads in this country if it means the rich don't get their tax cuts.
I just report 'em. Would be nice to have bullet train routes out of Cincy to places like Chicago, Atlanta and St. Louis, but of course yes, we're headed for the Eisenhower State Toll Road system.
ReplyDelete"Why should my federal tax dollars pay for roads in other states? Let them raise the money for their own roads and let's cut taxes!" etc.

ReplyDeleteWonder if he'll discuss the costs? I've heard a lot about what the actual costs were vs. what is being politicized.
