And saving us billions in the process.
President Donald Trump derailed a $13 billion dollar project to build an Amtrak tunnel between New Jersey and New York’s Penn Station Friday, Crain’s New York Business reports.

Trump is scrapping a proposal by former-President Barack Obama for the federal government to cover half the cost of the new line. New Jersey and New York would cover the other half of the cost under the Obama-era proposal.

Department of Transportation Deputy Administrator K. Jane Williams notified State officials in response to an updated proposal to fund the states’ half of the price tag through federal loans. The states’ proposal referenced the Obama administration’s plan for the federal government to underwrite the project as an “agreement.”

"Your letter also references a non-existent ’50/50′ agreement between USDOT, New York, and New Jersey. There is no such agreement,” Williams’ letter said, according to Crain’s New York Business. “We consider it unhelpful to reference a non-existent ‘agreement’ rather than directly address the responsibility for funding a local project where nine out of 10 passengers are local transit riders.”
MAGA.

Allow me to preempt the Comrade Homo AssClown Loser Marxist Tool's anticipated hysterical, emoticon spewing, name calling response about it only being Federal loans. Loans that any thinking person knows will never be paid back.

So you are cheering on the fact Trump is cutting off funding for a train tunnel project that will be used by millions of hard working commuters to get to and from work?

Trump shouldn't be biting the hand that feeds him....NY and NJ pretty much fund Trump's red state constituents.

Tool, please explain to us how NOT building something makes America great.

Any other time you are here yammering about how we need to "build a wall" :lol: or some other idiotic thing to make America great again. But here you are saying we should do nothing in order to make America great again.

When are you clowns going to make up your simple minds?
