<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">The fact that the cost exceeds the benefit of this PTC mandate naturally opens the door to criticism. And since nobody wants criticism, I have to believe that the cost estimate has been made to be as low as possible. In reality, I expect the cost to be unlimited because the work will go on forever. The mandate deadline time frame will be subdivided in order to cope with the impossibility of meeting it in one fell swoop. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Subdividing the timeframe will amount to subdividing the mandate, and this process will continue ad infinitum. Mandates will have children. But the key point is that the whole process will be compulsory upon the railroads, leaving them no choice but to pay for it. That is one big reason why the process will never end. </span> </p>
