Bush is cutting the funds to lubricate the privatization of roads and do his part to assure that we are stuck with a petroleum based economy for another 7 generations. Right now he is participating in a brutal gang bang of Texan taxpayer. With the help of his appointee
Mary Peters, (Secretary of Transportation), and the Governer of Texas,
Rick Perry, a few big banks and foriegn investors,
Cintra and
Macquarie they hope to force the Trans Texas Corridor down the citizens thoat. Apperently "no" does not mean "no" when GW is involved. WHile it looks like the
good people of Texas are trying hard not to swallow. Most think that it is a done deal. If Bush plays his cards right, he'll get something even bigger than the
President George Bush Turnpike!. It gets better, as the Austrailian toll road mega corp Macquarie, just bought
forty local newspapers, primarily in Texas and Oklahoma! Look out Oklahoma your next.
Just look at all the frieght that moves out of texas, to every part of the country.

Once again, the Bush Administration targets Amtrak for elimination. The FY 2009 budget request proposes to zero-out operating funds for Amtrak, in effect shutting down the national passenger railroad system. The budget request provides $525 million for Amtrak capital grants and $375 million for “Efficiency Incentive Grants” and “Intercity Passenger Rail Grants".
