Imagine that, state owned GE contracting with the country that is lending us all of that worthless money. So much for Obama's promise to get Americans back to work. But did we expect anything else?

China can't make a decent widget... what the hell makes us (our gooberment) think they can make a safe high speed train?

Here on the left coast we have a high speed train in the planning from SF to LA. It will cost billions of $$s and probably get about 150 regular riders. It kind of makes you wonder where the $$$$ leads. Of course our state Senate just passed a single payer health system that will triple the budget even though we can't pay our bills but that's just a detail.
