The amtrak station just named in honor of our bumblin vice president, Joe biden, is over budget. I can't wait for the states that are pushing to get high speed rail to get their own over budget rail lines. As if the states aren't in enough financial trouble.

From the article:

Renaming the station is apparently legal — and is fitting in this case, said Leslie Paige, spokeswoman for Citizens Against Government Waste.

“It’s an absolutely perfect monument to a guy whose entire history has been overspending and overpromising,” she said. “It would make sense [Mr. Biden‘s] name would be slapped on a bloated, over-budget train station in Wilmington.”
