Brings back memories from the past of Coleman Young's People Mover project in Detroit. So many more years, so MUCH more cost, so much graft.
More recently, we have all seen the left's use of Climate Change on both a micro and macro level to skim money and shift it into their own pockets.
We also saw it with the disastrous Obamacare.
It is one of their common "go to" moves.
