The election of 2010 was a failure of electors to do their homework.  I do believe that Representative Stephanie Herseth Sandlin made the correct choice in voting for the stimulus bill which saved jobs and possibly the economy from dipping deep into a recession. Here is a break down of where the economic stimulus package affected South Dakota

How can South Dakotan's say that the stimulus was bad?  Oh because of our national debt? While admittedly some of the initial costs of these program are going to add to the national debt, shouldn't real questions be focused why we went to war and on the money spent from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?

I didn't know there was a line going from Madison to Lake Preston or Madison to Wessington Springs.  I wonder how much of these old lines are still left?

I think it would strengthen the economy of South Dakota if we created a bullet train across the state of South Dakota.  Imagine if you could hop on the train in Madison and end up in Pierre or Sturgis a few hours later?  South Dakota offers perfect flat plains for development along with unused lines that could be upgraded for a low cost.  Public infrastructure projects like a bullet train could boost our economy not only through quick transportation of agricultural goods but also increase the number of visitors to our state by offering trips displaying the beautiful scenery of our grasslands, badlands, and black hills.

Is the Chamber of Commerce warming up to the idea of a National Healthcare Plan or are they just bipolar?
