Obama wanted to be the high-speed rail president. It might be Trump instead.

Please no more government Amtrak, or Amtrak on steroids, regardless of POTUS.

High speed trains would be massively (and I do mean MASSIVELY) expensive to build and would require NEVER-ENDING MASSIVE SUBSIDIES. Don’t do it, Donald.

Uh, airplanes go 660 and don't need track maintenance.
The big problem is that one has to butt crack Mecca while dealing with the shoe-Islam thing.

Amtrak on steroids is still Amtrak.

Glad Obozo failed and hoping Trump rejects the idiocy of this boondoggle. This is nothing more than union appeasement.

Trump is a businessman. No way he will push the high speed train mantra. It’s a money loser plain and simple. High speed trains are a wet dream of the left. No one else cares.

High speed rail in the US is idiotic. The government needs to get out it and about a million other things until the debt is paid off.
Actually the government just needs to get out it.

High speed rail isn’t really “high speed” and it costs way too much for the tiny benefit it would provide.

The leftards and their love for train travel. The fidiots refuse to accept the fact that there are very few population concentrations in the US to warrant it.

High speed? More like high-priced rail that nobody will ride, and that we’ll ALL pay for for the rest of our lives. If there’s a viable way to transport people by rail that doesn’t lose money, Norfolk & Southern and CSX would be doing it right now.

If high speed rail is a good idea, private investors will fund it.
Not the tax payer.
