Meanwhile, I think we're about due for another equally pointless attempt at repealing Obamacare. Wake me when it's over. Actually, wake me in June in time for the California primary, then not again until November. - otherwise my B.S. cup runneth over.. . . The President’s plan invests nearly $20 billion per year above current spending to reduce traffic and provide new ways for families to get to work and to school. The plan would expand transit systems in cities, suburbs and rural areas; make high-speed rail a viable alternative to flying in major regional corridors and invest in new rail technologies like maglev; modernize the freight system; and expand the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program begun in the Recovery Act to support high-impact, innovative local projects. . . .
