I despise that face of Clinton more than any other of his, and I despise all the rest too. I have to wake up from this nightmare...make it stop, ugh!!
Does Zero realize that with this Chicago hub and spoke model rail plan, that one well placed not even nuclear bomb could not only shutdown the 3rd largest metropolitan city, but also cripple the entire nationwide rail system? Even the Europeans and Japanese network their transportation systems to avoid “choke points” like this.

As you can see form this map, the high speed trains will travel from Albany NY where my good friend is Governer, to Milton MA where my good friend Deval Patrick, Gov. of MA has his mansion. This would then make a stop in Detroit where Kwami Kilpatrick has his tony estate. As you can plainly see, the high speed rail goes where Americans WANT to go. Scheboygan, East St Louis...
A ticket from Boston to NY will cost only $4,327 and only take 7 hours. I think we all need to put some skin in the game and pay the extra cost for this new rail system. With the quality union workforce, we should be up and running by 3027. Barring any unforseen cost overrun or labor shutdown.
