Wild spending for expanded port capacity. Suppose we spent all that money on mass transit, or on highways. We could fix a lot of problems.

Charleston -‘Top 5’ container port by 2020?

This is ridiculous. Not every East Coast US port can be top 5!!  Last week it was Houston!  And where are Savannah and Miami and Jacksonville?   How many of these investments will be lost?
