  1. I think the true toxicity of projects like these, is that the federal government helps pay for construction, but not a cent for maintenance. We build long term budget liabilities when we spend on these sorts of projects. That’s why several states have backed out and why California, with its traditional blindness to cause and effect, trudges on.
