Gambling bad! High speed train for Los Angeles to Las Vegas in porulus is the change we need though!

reid-grim.jpgPresident B. Hussein Obama was so quick to lambaste businesses that use taxpayer money to visit Las Vegas.

It’s okay, however, to use taxpayer, porkulus money to build pie-in-the-sky rail lines from Los Angeles to Vegas for Harry Reid’s benefit.

A Hill staffer points out this morning that Reid and Obama are pushing for an $8 billion earmark in the conference report (shhh! there are no earmarks, remember?) to “construct high-speed rail lines, quadrupling the amount in the bill that passed the Senate on Tuesday. Reid’s office issued a statement noting that a proposed Los Angeles-to-Las Vegas rail might get a big chunk of the money.”

The Hill staffer notes that Reid earmarked $45 million last year for the public magnetic levitation train project — which is in competition with a completely privately funded rail project being built along a similar route.

No wonder they won’t let us see the bill before they rush to cram it down our throats. Harry Reid has to get gamblers from Mexifornia rushing to Las Vegas to save the dieing tourist/gambing industry there! PURE GENIUS!
