The Chamber of Commerce members get the contracts.
The environmentalists make it harder to drive a car.
The unions get the jobs and more bribe paying members.
The families and small business owners get the bill.
"But now, at least in California, the hard hats are standing with the hippie environmentalists. And forget Nixon these guys want Jerry Brown.
Then again, that part isnt so surprising. Back in 1992, Brown was the only Democratic presidential candidate who consistently wore a union jacket and pushed labors line on the issues.
But high-speed rail?
We have come together because the building of a high-speed rail system in California will create sustainable green jobs, spur economic growth and protect our environment, Art Pulaski of the California Labor Federation, Allan Zaremberg of the CalChamber and Sierra Club Californias Jim Metropulos recently told U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
Of course, how much economic growth and how many green jobs isnt really known (during the rally, organizers said the rail project would create 140,000 construction jobs, while the letter to Ray LaHood cited above mentioned 130,000 jobs). But Sierra Clubs interest in the project is real."
Of course this is a choo-choo based on lies about ridership (half of what they said) and cost (triple what they said).
Why is California in a Depression? Choo-choo trains for the special interests and elites.
