Soon to be every bit the financial blessing as AmTrak.

Willie, this really isn’t the best web site to post Obama Administration puff pieces . . .

Anything that you don’t pay for can be a temporary financial blessing. Until the bill eventually comes due.

[cripplecreek]

Any article that begins with praise of der Fuhrer is unworthy or reading.

So if high speed rail is such a blessing and great “investment” just why don’t private people invest in it. Mainly, it just creates as big drain on the taxpayer while providing “grants” to crony-capitalists.

With his vigorous support for high-speed rail, President Obama

That's all you need to know. The most Socialist President this Nation has ever had is in favor of it. That's more than reason enough to strangle it aborning.

Just another reason to defeat EVERY dumbocrap running. These fools spend OUR money on silly, non economically feasible, pipe dreams. Mass transit doesn't promote freedom, it limits it and costs far more than the benefits it claims to create are worth.

A surge in forward movement for a few, not necessarily progress for all, except for progressives.

[yldstrk]

no ono no

a thousand times no

we do need it, but not now, it will break us

[Tolsti2]

Dammit willie, Build a rail between Dallas and Arlington already :P

[GeronL]

Forward Comrades!!

[longtermmemmory]

we did this same poop with

PASSENGER STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES!!!!

not a joke.

High speed rail is 100% a waste of money. It is crony politics at its finest.

It would be really cool to be able to go from Albany to Boston in an hour. I guess. Once. Other than that, I really dont see much of a use for it. Unless it is to transport hacks from one capital to another.

Hey Willie, why don’t we just start promoting travel by horses? Their natural and good for the environment. Think of the opportunities for “shovel ready” jobs created by them?

[mnehring]

You already can. The miracle of flight (shhh, don’t tell Willie about this).

I'm impressed.
I never realized that people like you with only half a brain could be trained to use the Internet.
