Right... and she said she'd balance the budget too. It's only 6 billion (or is it 7 by now) over. She's lied about everything else, why would you believe her now?

I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic. We don't need the tunnel! If we build it, the cost over-runs will be enormous. Do a little research on Boston's big dig. A 100% cost over-run is actually being VERY conservative. It will almost certainly end up being more, way more.
