As to Federal funding, I keep wondering why a fraction of my tax dollars go to providing cheap rides in NYC. What is the benefit to Texas? (Or Idaho, or, Ohio, or Florida, or Minnesota or . . . )

Don't get me started, Oahu has been building a 20 mile heavy rail boondoggle for the last 5-10 years now. It serves only one community but everyone else (including you if your a US citizen) is getting to pay for it. It was originally projected to cost ~$3.5Bn, but has soared to more than the Chunnel at ~$10Bn and is likely to top out at more like $13Bn.
For what? A train to nowhere that no one will ride? I guess it'll provide a really nice canvas for all the graffiti artists.
