Someone figured out once in the comments of a local paper that it would be cheaper to build a pair of airports, one in Northern California and one in Southern California at the end of existing commuter rail links and purchase an entire fleet of 737′s and run them at 30 minute intervals than this rail system costs to build and operate.

Obama loves you, and has a wonderful plan for your life. Fast trains are part of Obama’s vision of a comprehensive, vast, and friendly public transportation system, where your race, class, gender, or sexual orientation should not be a barrier to simply traveling from point A to point B.

Obama is love. Everything is Obama.

Did I mention fossil fuels are evil? As is nuclear energy. Wind, sun, geothermal from the earth. These are environmentally friendly. Besides, Obama is able to stop the rise of the oceans, and the warming of the Earth, and provide good jobs. Well, the jobs may take some time. But someone so in touch with the seas and the Earth … we need to utilize that.

Obama. What manner of man is he, that even the Earth and seas obey him? He’s a Lightworker.

People don’t realize how many millions of dollars have already been sunk in various studies, environmental impact surveys, planning, etc. Careers have already been started based on this project.

1 – It’s not our money so who cares
2 – The unions will shovel 10% into our re-election campaign coffers.

We’re way behind on man-made islands as well. It simply won’t do.

Man made islands are way better than natural islands, they’re engineered to stay upright.

And that’s only Phase 1. Wait ’till you get the bill for all segments of the construction.

Who cares if it’s too expensive? Japan has one so we should have one too, whether we need it or not.
