NRO: The University of South Carolina’s Moore School of Business estimates that more than 187,000 jobs — one of every eleven South Carolina jobs — and $53 billion in economic output are directly or indirectly related to Charleston’s port. It, however, needs further dredging in order to handle more of the biggest ships, which is where Congress enters the picture: Unless it authorizes the project and appropriates the federal portion of the $509 million cost to augment South Carolina’s already committed $300 million, the project will be delayed a year. The deepening project is only 14 percent of the $2.2 billion South Carolina is investing in its port facilities and related access.
George always seemed quick to spend other people's money, then claim some ideology that makes him different from the usual socialist.
