Huge Republican-backed Public Works Project Plagued by Corruption
That would be the first transcontinental railroad. The Golden Spike was driven 138 years ago yesterday. Back then, they were Republicans. What a visionary project that was.

I would have posted yesterday, but it was my turn to work the table at the Defeatocrat pro-jihad bake sale.

Just imagine how much Grover Norquist, had he been alive at the time, would have detested the effort.

Now I'll get flamed about buffalos and robber barons.
