The Trans-Seleyan Railway. San Luis. What do these have in common? Both are economic trucks capable of delivering prosperity and development. So when you combine them, logically you should get stronger economic development. As such, connecting the Trans-Seleyan Railway to the port of San Luis will not only benefit Seleyan nations connected to the TSR, but it'll primarily benefit San Luis and Baltusia. As such, the Regal Job Corps will be mobilized to start work as soon as possible. The goal is to have the TSR go from San Luis Port to the western border. A cross country goal, but one that will provide economic development to communities around it, put Baltusians in work, and allow for exports and imports to be quickly moved in and out of the country.
Riding high off of last year's elections, the Merridan Administration is looking to continue the Real Deal and elevate Baltusians. With this effort looking to be a major push for economic revival, the Real Deal is expected to look at middle class revival next, and get Baltusia away from emergency spending to steady recovery. While fiscal hawks continue to decry spending, especially on such an expensive project, the Merridan Administration has continued to push through, with Merridan saying, "If we want to bring Baltusians prosperity, we need to be willing to take risks. Two nerds in a room talking about the national budget doesn't put food on the table for Baltusians. Work does."
So far, the Progressive Coalition has been fully supportive of the Merridan Administrations spending habits, but social democrats have urged for some spending on welfare in the meantime. In any case, the Trans-Seleyan Railway and infrastructure remain the most effective, if boring, way for economic stability and recovery. Whilst fiscal conservatives grumble, Baltusians are excited for the possibility of a middle class revival, and being able to get from San Luis to anywhere else in the country.
