Financial shortsightedness begins

In a bid to demonstrate his commitment to financial austerity , Wisconsin's Governor elect Scott Walker has said he will maintain his campaign promise to kill all highway and high speed rail projects and return the money to the federal government.

Oh. He isn't killing the expensive highway projects? Just the rail projects?

Walker knows what climate scientists and military experts don't know- we will always have an unlimited amount of cheap oil, and climate change doesn't exist. So, it won't cost us anything to continue ignoring these made up problems.

But having a high speed rail line foster an economic corridor between Chicago and Minneapolis built with federal dollars will impose an awful burden on Wisconsin.

I am sure the voters will thank him for it in the next election. I know that the States that take those federal dollars will thank him!
