The first transcontinental railroad counted on government funding. We also count on it for roads. That is to say, if the idea is feasible in terms of productivity, yet of a larger scale than typical for private industry . . . there may be a place for it.

Just sayin’. I'd rather see taxpayer dime go toward something like this (if only it can be done with strict accountability), than for all the freaking socialist, union, welfare BS we've grown accustomed to supporting. What kills me is all the waste and corruption connected with this kind of spending. We could get a better railroad at half the price of it weren't for government involvement, regulations, etc.
