    Love how these huge infrastructure projects get announced right at beginning of election season, so even if it does actually get set up, it’ll just get ripped out by the next party after he loses.

    Ain’t no way we’re getting bullet trains when NYC’s subway barely qualifies as having a circular route.

    Can’t wait to see all this go to the lowest bidder so we can get the finest rail made of 1880 cast iron after a decade’s worth of delay.

    Its been 13 years and AT&T still hasn’t given my old city fiber with the morbillion dollars they got to expand the nations network.

        I don’t think having that attitude to somebody who is going to really do something will impede them. While having the opposite (as in “blindly trusting”) attitude to somebody who isn’t going to do anything won’t change the reality. So I don’t see how it’s killing anything.

        It’s more likely the crooked people in positions of power taking money from crooked companies lining their pockets that are killing America more than the previous OP’s cynicism. What power do we have against it? If we had any at all you’d be using it, wouldn’t you?
