High speed won’t be able to run on the same rail as regular freight which means the land needs to be bought or stolen. There will be lawsuits for every inch and many small towns will need to be wiped off the map to make way for the train to Obamaville.

It’s so bad you could not rip up that track and replace it with track for high speed rail. Reason is many corridors have too many dips and curves for high speed trains to be safe. That’s what I heard is common in the North East at least

But the game plan is make work Demo-projects in 9 cities. Laying a few miles of rail tracks to nowhere

Wasn’t it Chris Matthews who said put people to work on a railroad? Railroads, socialists, Unions, all go hand in hand.

http://www.aflcio.org/aboutus/history/history/debs.cfm

And was it the japanese who put American prisoners to work on their railroad during world war II?

More of Obama’s Europe is better than America so let’s follow their bankrupted policies.

One of our friends who travels all over the world said he loves the convenience of having a railroad or high speedrail so he doesn’t have to drive. Like when he goes to thebeer fests in Germany. Hee!

When it was brought up here in California, he said we are no where close to being ready for one. He said when people travel they want to arrive somewhere and everything convenient.Hotels, transportation, shopping, events. He said most of the speedrails proposed would leave them without those conveniences.

I thought aobut that. Think about all that would be taken over by eminent domain to make everything convenient, then have no one use them because Americans like their cars.

Sir Topham Hatt was very cross.

“Barack,” he boomed. “You have cause confusion and delay. Now put those tax dollars back where you found them.”

Good grief. He comes up with some doozies. I’m sure his next great idea will be to stop dust storms in the desert.

I’m surprised he hasn’t found himself an Albert Speer. Maybe when he does, they can tear down Chicago and start again, just as Mein Fuerher planned to do with Linz.

I call it the Nebuchadnezzar syndrome.

Destroy the civilization around you, whilst engaging in a massive construction program. Keeps the psychopathy of the destroyer hidden.

Hey, Alexander The Great also suffered from epilepsy...and Nebuchadnezzar went totally mad, ended up on all fours eating grass like an animal.

Nebuchadnezzar rebuilt Babylon. Had his name stamped on every brick. And along came Saddam Hussein - who did the same.

‘I, SADDAM HUSSEIN REBUILT BABYLON’ on every brick.

THESE PEOPLE ARE INSANE! MILLIONS DIE. HISTORY REPEATING REPEATING ITSELF.

We don’t just need to see a birth certificate, the entire world deserves an PSYCHIATRIC REPORT!

Anything Goldman Sachs’ puppet states is lies. The problem is there remains a brainwashed segment of the population who still believes what the arch-conman from Kenya says.

$8 billion just happens to be the projected cost of a bullet train between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, a proposal that has been studied for years and rejected by private investors.

It also happens to be a project Sen. Hairy Reid has favored.

Dingy Harry has been blasted as one congress critter who has failed to bring home the bacon.

Since The Seedy One is up for re-election, this seems to be a meatless bone The Obammunist is throwing him for campaign purposes.

It will go nowhere.

I think the Reid bullet train should be about 200 grain in .45 caliber.

He is an evil, evil man.He has done horrible things to some people in Nevada, in the real estate business.. I have no idea how he has stayed in office.

So, what are you going to do about it? Very little positive ever gets done.
