I know enough to know big mamma is buried under liberal earth. YOU go dig it out. Not really rocket science here or anything. Or do we need a peer reviewed paper to see if the big girl is buried? lol
It's actually a great idea. If you've ever been on the Seattle waterfront, you know an elevated four-lane hi way runs right over the top of it. When finished (and it WILL get finished), Seattle will have a terrific new ped-friendly waterfront. Just like San Francisco, which tore down an earthquake-damaged freeway to open up its waterfront years ago.
But I guess the wingers think it's a bad idea, because the boring machine is a Democrat, or something?
Sorry if I got that wrong- I have trouble making sense out of their arguments.
That sounds about right, it is much easier for the right wingers to throw around the generic statements in hopes that no one would notice how hollow those comments really are.

Red states like Lousiana have great infrastructure, they never get caught in a debacle.
So you have no idea why they are digging a tunnel, the different options that they looked at before picking this option, or anything at all about this project other than it is a boring machine that currently is stalled. Let me know when you have actual interest in this topic beyond your right wing generic talking points.
Im not sure why thats even needed. The bottom line is-its a fixed price contract!
Taxpayer invariably comes out on the short end in these wrestling matches. After all the contractor would not have gotten the job in the first place had they not been connected.
It's unlikely taxpayers will end up on the hook. Even your OWN LINK admits that.
COULD it happen?
Sure.
Is it LIKELY?
No.

There will be litigation, Taxpayers will be on the hook for one side of that, at minimum. Which side will win is sheer guesswork, but the usual result is that the taxpayer gets reamed. It is rarely the case that the sheep eats the wolf.
It appears I have come up with a new term..........sadly. "Liberal earth" is where that big digger sits and there is where we are heading it appears. Sad but true.

Only in liberal land does the sheep eat the wolf. It is a wonderful land where everyone is happy and gets along and nobody has to work unless they want and they dance every night and worship the trees. Great country if you can get there. They haven't found it yet.
No they don't.
Often - yes, ALWAYS - no.
There's been plenty of government military projects that were not "cost plus" where the company involved was forced to swallow cost overruns. Boeing has swallowed such costs several times. The KC-46A contract is a prime example.
As usual, you wingnuts are overgeneralizing.
