Good news about the stimulus: the US House/Senate conference committee funded mass transit at $8.4 billion; national high-speed rail (according to who's definition?) will get $9.3 billion.
I read from the AP that President Obama and Sen. Harry Reid pushed for the high-speed rail funding 'behind the scenes.'
And the republicans... they rallied for more Dept. of Defense spending, did additional complaining, and then didn't bother to support the bill. We should include contributions from republican Sens. Collins, Snowe and Specter - screw the remainder of them. Really.
The tax cuts of the Bush year's did so well for our country...
