High Speed Rail … Will it help you ?

Please share with all your thoughts about the US spending $2.7B  dollars on a High Speed Rail Line from Orlando to Tampa at a cost of  almost $33M per mile just to get it ready to serve the people who commute from Orlando to Tampa?

I ask the question because I am working with some folks on a much better way.  It’s called AmericarTM !!! I will share some details with you, probably on Saturday, as soon as we get it in front of Governor Scott.

Our politicians aren’t stupid … they’re corrupt

This was printed in the comments section to today’s Daily Article at

You need not read the article l to get the gist of what this guy is saying but it helps.  Feel free to post comments.  That’s what this thing is all about isn’t it???

JE,

Do you really think the parade of horrors is a matter of stupidity? Somebody seems pretty smart here. It seems to me like smart people try to get what they want, and someone is getting that.

To dismiss this problem on the basis of stupidity implies the wrong cause, and therefore the wrong solution.

This is the product of collusion between special interests, accomplished through political power. It is the mercantile drama being repeated line for line simply on a different stage in a different time.

Well connected and financed special interests, with a specific legislative agenda in mind, have a significant advantage over the unconnected generally uninformed citizenry. This is the legislative bias that is now and has historically been inadequately checked by the “vigilance of patriots”.

As a people, we have granted politicians patriot status, and then ignored the plain evidence under our noses that they are not. They are “fixers” of the deals made between the special interests groups that arrange their elections, and the payers of the public treasury. When that was not enough, they invented the Federal Reserve to keep the party going.

This cannot be explained with simple stupidity. These are some pretty smart people. So, how smart are we?
