Americans Sick and Tired of Motorized Transportation, Transportation Secretary Says

CNS News reports:
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Friday that Americans are “tired” of motorized transportation and its attendant hassles, and instead are looking for other options such as bicycle lanes and walking paths, which the government will add to its infrastructure.

“People are sick of being stuck in traffic, stuck in their automobiles, and we want to help communities and neighborhoods that want more walking paths or biking paths—more transit,” LaHood told CNSNews.com.
If Ray LaHood was right Amtrack would make a profit. It sounds like LaHood's Chicago buddies are planning to scam the taxpayers in some giant boondoggle. No word yet from LaHood mentor William Cellini on this one.
