re: #103 sagehen

It’s behind a subscription wall — does it mention about the huge infrastructure investments (railroads) and huge education investments (land grant colleges) and millions and millions of acres of free land to any farmers willing to go park themselves on it and grow stuff?

‘Cause I don’t see today’s economic conservatives supporting those sorts of things.

Yes, it does discuss the matter of infrastructure. And its not railroads conservatives don’t favor, its public transit rail services receiving subsidies they don’t tend to like. It’s one of those things where I don’t agree with much of my party, mostly because of where I live. Metra is a great asset to the Chicago area, and not something we could do without. The amount of cars it takes out of commuting duty saves the area millions each year. CTA ‘L’ trains do the same thing.
