I'm not sure this is how you get Jews back on your side.


XO this is your president, the guy you voted for!!!

    If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew, uh, as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor. I have no problem with that.

The president has been muffing lines all over the place recently. Last week, also peddling his jobs plan at a bridge that won't qualify, he hailed America's building of "the Intercontinental Railroad." You don't seem to hear much about these gaffes in the media for some reason.

     No ! He didn't ?good grief!

      I think if we tried to repeat building the transcontinental railroad OSHA and the EPA would make it impossible instead of difficult and dangerous.

Really! Far more difficult things are being built right now. Tunnels and bridges, buildings and highways.

      I don't think so.
       Our ability to take on big projects seems to be topping out.

         The transcontenental RR was huge , compared well with the Panama canal, the Empire State building , the Manhattan project,the Apollo program. What are we planning to do now that would really test our limits?

[Xavier_Onassis]

I fail to see why we need to constantly "test our limits" with construction projects alone. The current trend seems to be to build really tall buildings, with the Burj Khalifa in Abu Dhabi as the current holder of the title, and the Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur as the tallest twin towers.

There are constant efforts to delve into the various unknowns of every science.

Strictly speaking, a "Transcontinental Railroad" has never existed in the US. What we call by this name began in Omaha and San Francisco. The Central Pacific/ Union Pacific connected with other railroads eastward from Omaha.

There never has been a single coast-to coast US railroad, just connections between various companies. There IS however a single railroad that comes close to linking both coasts: the Canadian Pacific links the St Lawrence seaway with Vancouver.

The CP owns a lot of tracks in the US. It is run by the Canadian government. Oooh! A Socialist enterprise!

I really doubt that it would be impossible to build a transcontinental railroad due to OSHA restrictions. That is stupid teabagger talk.

Are we using Chinese to build them?

Funny, didn't know you buy stocks in government, and that they were traded on the NY Stock Exchange: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Pacific_Railway_Limited

I guess it was run by the Canadian government at one time. In any case, it is closer to being an actual transcontinental route than anything in the US. Closer to coat-to coast, that was my point.

I do not doubt that Americans could build a transcontinental railroad and obey all the OSHA regulations.
