Ray LaHood, jackass and hubric

Quoting the anti-planner as he describes the spending disaster of the HSR bullshit:

When they return the federal high-speed rail monies, the governor-elects of both Wisconsin and Ohio (whose high-speed train is expected to average a speedy 38.5 mph) have asked the federal government to dedicate those funds to deficit reduction. In response, Secretary of Immobility Ray LaHood has threatened to simply give Wisconsin’s and Ohio’s money to North Carolina or some other state to blow on their moderate-speed rail projects.

Ray LaHood is too incompetent and too political to be dealing with transportation. But, the cause is a Senate dysfunctional. Most of the HSR bullshit and many of the grand failures are born in the decrepit home for the delusional, the US Senate.
Each House member should be spending for his own district. If neighboring districts have a good idea than share the federal loot. Keep the Senate weak and out of the policy business, and make this the key plank in the Tea Party.
