To all of those talking down the economy and constantly harping about how bad things are for political reasons may very well get what they wish for -- complete wipeout of our economy. The end result of that is NOT what everyone is wanting whether they realize it or not.

Oh great, another rail system that we can subsidize for the next hundred years. Drill for oil, it will have twice the impact.

This was needed 40 years ago. They have been debating high speed rail in my area since the mid 70’s. Every 3 yrs or so it comes back in the news and millions are spent on new studies. Then everybody goes back home.

Well if you promise it won't stop in flyover country you might find a surprising number of investors.
