The leftists moved *into* the state, wrecked it, and are already starting to move *out* of the state because they wrecked it. That will only get worse. If you don't fight on this line on the map, you'll be fighting on one closer to home. You don't generally defeat a foe by surrendering territory. I wish people would think about that.

They subsist on control. DougM, No Doug, they subsist on GRAFT. The more it changes hands the more opportunities for graft! Oh and gang, how many of you want to be on one of those trains going 100 mph and an EARTHQUAKE happens. Bet that would be a bummer.

Neither LaLaHood or anyone else in the Federal government has any money to give. LaHood, you blinkered idiot, you and your co-conspirators have put us $16 trillion in debt, and until you pay that down, you don't have one fucking dime to give anybody. 2. $6 billion to build that boondoggle is a fucking joke. If it is built, and the California government and the Federal government have anything to do with it, I predict it will cost $30 billion and take 15 years to build. 3. The only parties making any money from the project will be lawyers dragging other parties into court over miniscule issues. 4. If built, unions involved with its operation will make sure the project will lose at least 1 billion per year. 5. It will be less efficient than Amtrak or the Postal Service. 6. The trains will rarely reach design speed because of political pressures for additional stops, environmental lawsuits and shoddy maintenance of the right of way. In summary: A guaranteed clusterfuck of the FUBAR level. Welll, let me say this about that:

That's my Carl Sagan impersonation. It's because of the "London Whale", the sooper-genius trader that burned through over 2 billion of JP Morgan's moolah: "...reports that Iksil is <a href="http://minx.cc/?post=329256" rel="nofollow">likely to leave the bank</a>, but his fate isn't entirely clear at this point."
