"...It includes $300 million to buy new cars for the government, $8 billion for high-speed rail projects, such as a "magnetic levitation" line from Las Vegas to Disneyland, and $140 million for something called "volcano monitoring." Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington, D.C."
-For the record, I work for a company who manufacture geotechnical instrumentation. It is used in Jindal's "something" of volcano monitoring. Chances are our technology is being used in the high speed rail line projects he's talking about, too.
What Jindal did yesterday was pick on a valid INDUSTRY that is hardly a correct example of fiscal misappropriation. Funding geotechnical activity shouldn't suffer because we have corrupt people in government who are running amok. These are two separate issues.
The GOP, including this dillhole, are idiots. They, and their stupidity, can DIAF already.
