8 billion, 10 billion, 13 billion...who cares?  Don't worry people, it's just MONEY.  Think about what we'll get!  By the time this is over, we'll have an awesome, shiny new train that speeds commuters from Kapolei to Pearl City.  Literally HUNDREDS of people ride the train to work and school, each and every day.  Think of all those horrible buses it will take off the road!  I just sooo want the train to be done, maybe they should raise GET to 5% so they can get the contractors to hire some workers from the mainland to get the project moving.  I sure hope they get it done by 2040, because statistically speaking, I probably won't be around long past then to enjoy a ride...
