$25mm a mile!!!??? Was that figure before or after Martinez quit PW? I'm in the wrong business. Title: Stimulus Pork for Oklahoma Post by: dbacks fan on February 19, 2009, 04:53:55 pm You get $250k for AmTrak feasability and $42mil for Urban Rail Infrastructure. Let me know how the Urban Rail works out, I think we may have gotten ripped off here to the tune of $300mil.

The stimulus is to convert any money that the working poor might get to perks of a runaway bureaucracy. We are over the cliff in free fall and there is no way we can ever pay our present debts.
We need to start printing the $1,000 and $500 dollar bills to save paper and ink. Title: Stimulus Pork for Oklahoma Post by: Conan71 on February 20, 2009, 03:34:43 pm The title of this thread sounds like a porno flick.
