My occasional suggestion that Very Serious Liberals embrace nice things when our government suggests spending money on them, even if those nice things seem to be too expensive or if there's some other better nice thing that should be created instead. We spend an immense amount of money on hideous not nice things
that don't even work. It probably shouldn't cost $10 billion to build a couple of tunnels to Manhattan, or $80 billion to build HSR in California, but at least those are nice things that might actually work.
