Oklahoma certainly appears to have far better planning in terms of transportation facilities than my home state of New Mexico. The current outgoing administration (Bill Richardson) although not really a hard left "greenie", has pushed through over 2/3 of a billion for two pet projects - train and spaceport, creating a gaping budget deficit. These two projects only benefit a handful of individuals - a relative handful of "progressive" lefties who ride the subsidized train from Belen to Santa Fe, and a even fewer number of "ultra rich" who will supposedly take 200K "joyrides" into sub orbital space courtesy of Sir Richard Branson. Given the abysmal state of NM's roads and bridges (no Albu loop, regressive design, and crushing urban congestion) these allocations certainly seem to be the utmost of a perversion of public spending priorities.
