Except maybe the $64B doesn't need to be spent at all and can be returned to the taxpayers. The point OP was making is that it's unnecessary to build HSR because there's an existing company (several actually) that provides the same service at a fraction of the price, at no cost to the taxpayer.
- product50 9y agoThe fact of the matter is that those $64B will not be returned to the taxpayers and will probably be diverted to other less relevant projects.
