$461 million dollars for a light rail system that is only 13 minutes faster than the train we already have? I know what is wrong with President Obama. What I want to know is what the fuck is wrong with the current governor that she'd sign on to this waste of taxpayer funds. I may not know the cause, but I damn well know the cure. The coming election in 2012.
H/T to Robb.

Vanity project. Rail is the perfect liberal project. It's European, which they think is better, and it forces the masses to ride smooshed together in crowded train cars, where our betters don't have to see us.
I can drive from Raleigh to Charlotte in 170 miles and 3 hours. Taking a worst case scenario, 20 mph and $3.50 a gallon gas, that's less than $30 each way. Amtrak wants $32 per seat, 3 hrs and 22 minutes, and when I get there, I have to walk wherever I go. If I take my wife, it's still $30 in gas. Now it's $64 to take the train. How does this make sense?
whoops, 20 MPG, not mph.
