How serious can the Democrats be about deficit reduction?
From the Associated press:
Amtrak and rail projects in 15 states are being awarded the $2 billion that Florida lost after the governor canceled plans for high-speed train service.
$2 Billion that was allocated for high-speed rail in Florida was rejected by Gov. Rick Scott (R) because it would have tied the state to long-term financial obligations. Instead of then using the savings from that $2 Billion to reduce the deficit, the administration re-allocated as gifts to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) to pay for pet projects in their very blue states.
Other states receiving rail funding include Washington, California, Michigan, Rhode Island, Illinois, Iowa… see a pattern here?
So, to repeat the question: How serious can the Democrats be about deficit reduction? Not at all. But, you knew that already, didn’t you?
