So true
Every time proponents of HSR talk about it, you can see the drool. PANT, PANT, PANT, GOTTA HAVE IT, GOTTA HAVE IT, GOTTA HAVE IT, PANT, PANT, PANT. NOW, NOW, NOW, PANT, PANT, PANT. I keep expecting to see a box of Kleenex near by. That kind of behavior just gets us boondoggles.
They always tremendously understate the cost to lull the sheeple into saying yes. (Yes, it is deliberate). And most fall for it every time. I don't recall a major government program that ever cost what they said it would. It always costs 10-20 times more and ends up being a money pit forever.
