basically a highspeed version of Amtrack. Glen Beck dedicated an entire section of his latest book on Amtrack, and it was mindblowing the money thats wasted each year because of politics and the labor unions.

You have to lay rails extremely precisely for high speed trains. It is always much more expensive. IIRC a lot of the old Amtrak corridors are totally unsuitable to lay high speed track just due to the dips and curves and contours

If 0bama is talking about nine high speed projects this means nine demo projects that amount to NOTHING in each place except for construction jobs. Political motivation is why you have nine different locations

As far as I know there is not one high speed train in America as fast as a Japanese bullet train or a French high speed train. Far better is sinking some billions into just one location where you build a real high speed rail project to show Americans will use it
