So rails can be used to transport goods too.

I could have mentioned storm drains instead of streets and your response would have still been political bullshit!

I didn’t come up with the term tea party.

They wouldn’t have to, because people actually *use* streets, and streets can be used for more things than just transporting people – for example, you can use a street to deliver goods, increasing both usefulness and economic exchange.

Who here identifies as a Tea Partyer? I certainly don’t. What is the point of your blanket statements/insults if they have no basis in reality?

Now would they do this kind of bullshit if were about streets instead?

I advocate that the Clackastanis file a new initiative forbidding the repayment of any bonds issued to pay for light rail.

Thanks

Though tolls on the ICC will only cover about 20% of the roads expenses.

You’re called teabaggers because, you say you hate big government, though you depend it.

If some one is promoting a gold plated rail line, the problem is the gold plating, not the rail line.

Fewer of those in Clackamas County, though.

People in Portland have no problem voting to raise taxes, especially people who are non-productive.
