Never do you hear, in all the arguing about how to fund Oahu 's monsterous rail project, never, ever, do you hear of a fourth possibility: CUT SPENDING somewhere and reallocate funds to finish the...dang...train.  Personally I could care less if it ever gets finished.  If it ever does it'll be an albatross around the neck of our economy forever after--a deadweight without enough ridership to even pay for the maintenance and usage costs after completion.  So, couldn't we reduce some useless, politically motivated social program--shipping containers for the homeless in Kaka'ako comes to mind--to pay for rail?  No, of course not.  Couldn't do that.  Gotta raise taxes. This is Hawaii for gosh sake!  We're just so proud of our little paradise here we're just going to have to ruin it for all.  We're going to run it out of town on a rail.
