Here’s a good example of it in our infrastructure. For example, how much money and time did it take to build the interstate system? It was built between 1956 and 1991, where I lived. Most of it went up in the 1960s. So that’s about a 25 year period over that 25 year period. It is, according to this ballpark estimate. From what it costs.com, they said, well, it was, the estimate, initial estimate was 114 billion in the initial dollars in 1956. But, of course, that means nothing. We can’t really tell if it was a cost overrun because of what the Federal Reserve has done to the value of our money.
So they kind of put it together over this 25 year period and said, well, in 2008, which is when they put this together, that’d be about $500 billion in 2008. So I thought, well, let’s bring it up to date. 2024. I was surprised to see that what you could get for $500 billion in 2008, that here we have 16 years later, it would take not 500 billion, but 725 billion in 2024. In other words, it’s gone. You have to have almost 50% more. That’s what they’ve done to the value of the dollar in these last 16 years.
But. So let’s just go with that $725 billion figure. In today’s money, what does that work out to per mile? Well, there’s about 40,000 miles of interstate that were built, so that’s about 18 and one, $8 million per mile. About $18 million per mile. So when you look at how long did it take them to build 40,000 miles? And again, they probably started and stopped in different places over that 25 year period, but let’s just take, say, 25 years to build 40,000 miles. Well, that’s about 1600 miles per year. They were adding it at a pretty good clip.
So they 1600 miles per year, and it’s costing them just over $18 million per mile. Now, why do I bring this up? Because California, the worst case example of spendthrift government. California, as part of their high speed rail authority, they posted on x, look what we just got done. We have the Fresno river viaduct in Madeira county as one of the first completed high speed rail structures. At nearly 1600ft, not miles, feet. At nearly 1600ft, long high speed trains will travel over the riverbed and will run parallel to the BNSF railroad, they wrote. And people mocked them endlessly for that nonsense.
And it is nonsense, as one person said, well, it takes about five minutes to walk 1600ft. So, um, you’re going to put a high speed rail thing on that. Yeah, it won’t even get started before it runs off the other end. I mean, that’s ridiculous. And there’s nothing on either side of it. It is not just a bridge to nowhere. It’s a bridge from nowhere to nowhere. The common man they created common core to dumbed down our children. They created common past to track and and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation. Isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It’s time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you’ll find@thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
