I will try and explain to some poster why I brought up the Trans Pacific.

The bridges being built are being built by China and the question is not so much where the money came from. Last I read at lease one was NOT from federal money which is what the OP is talking about, but most think the problem is the weakening of the requirement to be american made and that seems to be the problem facing California.

It seems to me reasonably then that a discussion of the actual issue promoting China to be successful might be up for discussion.

I am sorry I jumped to Obama defense. Some of us are here to discuss the actual issues involved in what posters are talking about.
