RSSThat Well Spent Stimulus Money … , Amtrak Renaming Train Station in Wilmington, DE after Vice President Joseph R. Biden, the Stimulus “Sheriff”

As a thank-you to its most famous customer, Amtrak is renaming the train station in Wilmington, Del., after stimulus “sheriff” Vice President Joseph R. Biden — after the project received $20 million in stimulus money and came in $5.7 million over the initial announced budget.
Spokesmen for Mr. Biden, who said he personally fought for stimulus money for Amtrak, didn’t respond to messages Wednesday or Thursday.

The company also said its own budget projection was always greater than the $32 million the White House announced back in 2009 — though Amtrak itself also listed the $32 million cost that year, later raising the price tag to $37.7 million.
No wonder Democrats are all for high speed trains, Biden just wants a faster choo-choo trained named after him.
