The people complaining about government spending complaining that service on the DC Metro wasn't good enough. To make it better, the Congressman(senator?) who got involved was against spending more on the DC Metro. Priceless. You righties sure are a funny bunch.

No discrepancy at all, unless you make the false assumption that more money equals better service. Spending more money for poor and/or unresponsive service is exactly why fiscal conservatives dislike expansion of government services.

I'm guessing Metro prepared for the 25,000 or so that the left said would turn up, and when many more than that did, they were overwhelmed. The overcrowding of Metro probably supports the idea that there were more people there than some will admit.

Metro doesn't run the same schedule as they do during the weekdays either.

You pay for service and it sucks. Complaining seems like a reasonable response to me.

You wouldn't complain? You would reward with more money a service that sucks?

That's what liberals do.

Privatize it and the service will improve.

bull****. Privatize it and it will go bankrupt over and over again(or completely shut down)-much like the airlines.

Btw, these "people" bitching don't want ANY government spending on things such as public transit-just for weapons to kill lots of people.

Airlines go bankrupt because of the unions fool. Southwest and JetBlue do fine because they don't have unions. Their workers make just as much too.

Fool.

I am telling you guys ......

Robert is a "Closet Model Train Freak" and anything "Train" gets his whack off.

I figure Robert goes out skulking railroad yards and rail tracks at night to rub on the Trains and the Equipment.

I bet he even lays his head down on many of the Tracks and tries to hear the and feel the vibrations of the Oncoming Train so he can pop his Cherry just before it runs him over.

Robert, you are just a sad sick fetish freak.

I have always loved model trains. I just have never had enough money, space or time to build a really good one. It can be a very expensive hobby. If you ever make it to Chicago(which you probably won't), make sure you check out the Museum of Science and Industry and their model train.

As for real trains, I have some tracks pretty much right behind my apartment complex and I could probably rub the trains since they occasionally stop right here. Many times they carry coal(our Marshall fans will enjoy hearing this) so if I got the guts(hey, it is illegal), I could take a piece and send it to you for Christmas.
