You made what appears to be a libelous claim. Provide evidence or shut the **** up.

Frank, can you explain why O’Toole attacks rail for not making money, when roads don’t have to make money?

Again:

“You lobby for roads all the time”

Prove it. To assert this without evidence is libel: anything that is defamatory or that maliciously or damagingly misrepresents.

And enough with “the road in front of your house” shtick.

The road in front of your house is not a business.

I think this shows how much loose money is floating around federal agencies these days, so that the higher level people can spend money to make them and their projects look good and not necessarily to improve the project.
