If we can spend billions on padding the pockets of the military-industrial complex and the kleptocrat Zelensky … yes, I am talking about the war in Ukraine, which should be called the Deep State’s War of Aggression Against Russia, given its true genesis was the Obama-regime’s 2014 coup which installed a Western-puppet-government in Kyiv.
If we can spend hundreds of millions ANNUALLY on funding a public education system that spends MOST of that money outside the classroom on who-knows-what, including race-based-socialism euphemistically called Diversity-Equity-Inclusion, then we can spend a paltry $17 million a year on rail to Boston.
This tweet from Mikey Graham is so LAUGHABLE.
$17 million a year is a rounding error on the waste, fraud, and corruption in funding public education. We know most of the money spent on public education is spent OUTSIDE the classroom; that is, it never reaches the classroom. But it’s treated as absolutely normal by New Hampshire’s faux “fiscal conservatives” to waste far, far, far in excess of $17 million a year on D-E-I and who knows what else, while railing (pun intended) against the Choo Choo to Beantown.
ENOUGH … I want my piece of the grift! The grift shouldn’t be just for Ukrainian kleptocrats, the military-industrial complex, the D-E-I hustlers, etc. etc. etc. I want some too! … JUST BUILD THE DAMN CHOO CHOO!!!!!
Boston to Manchester rail study: $782 million to build, $17 million a year to run. (And these numbers are BS REAL numbers far worse) https://t.co/h0IgqPFH76

So have at at it commentators. Explain to me how it’s big-government to subsidize the choo choo because “if there were a demand for a choo choo, the free market would meet that demand … ” yet it’s somehow not big government to force taxpayers to subsidize big-developers to build your precious “workforce housing” … . Educate me about how ignoring the hundreds of millions per year of waste and fraud in our public education budgets … which the NHGOP’s “fiscal conservatives” have been doing forever … is fiscally conservative, but spending a pittance of that on a choo choo makes you a big spending liberal. To cut to the chase, explain to me how it’s so easy for the Sununicans and the other grifters in the NHGOP to manipulate you.
