We still have backwards leaders doing what they can to keep us from even having a basic high speed rail. Don't they understand that rail is not meant to replace flying or cars, but ease the pressure of the amount of traffic on both? Maybe only 25-35% of us will use rail, but that also means that many fewer people driving on roads, creating traffic bottlenecks, accidents (MORE expense)...it also means we don't need to spend billions of dollars a year on road construction because lower traffic means the roads last longer. Fewer people fly when they need to go from Kansas City to Dallas or Northern CA to Southern CA...fewer people also drive and clog up the Interstate system. Fewer people driving and fewer people flying means those who want to do either win, because it's easier to drive and fly with fewer people doing so.
PEOPLE PAY TO USE TRAINS. It's literally government spending that creates long term revenue. So spending a paltry 9.3bill per year on a nationwide train system while Ohio Republican Governor Kasich spends 1BILL this year to fix up ONE SINGLE INTERCHANGE in ONE CITY sounds like a solid long term investment. But Nooooo our Gov. has friends that will make a lot of money while he runs tha state. What have we done?
