My high-speed rail proposal will lead to innovations that change the way we travel in America, Obama boldly proclaimed during his first year of his first term. A recent Investors Business Daily article pointed out that the recent Amtrak train derailment near Tacoma, Washington, was on a stretch of track that was the direct result of President Obamas pie in the sky vision of high-speed rail under his stimulus plan.
Mondays crash of the Amtrak train, which killed three and injured many more, was remarkable in that this was the very first route of this line on a new track that went over an existing rail line. I was supposed to go on this very train for New Years Eve when I will be travelling from Seattle to Portland for a friends wedding. Not going to be doing that now. Though the train was going 80 mph in a 30 mph zone, it is inexcusable that this kind of thing still happens today.
But liberals like President Obama still push their unobtainable and crazy costly transportation programs onto us whenever they get the chance.

Really? Then will someone please send him the bill for it. It sure as hell isn't going to do me any good.
But no....
The CA high-speed rail needs to be derailed before it gets on the track.
obozos idea was to get us used to being shipped around on a train like the Nazis did to the Jews in WW2. If he could get us trained (pun intended) to board on command it would be easier to take us to the camps.
That picture in the link with obozo announcing his plans for high speed rail has Biden nearly choking listening to him. That is a priceless photo.. We’ve all, I’m sure had the same reaction when we’ve heard someone spewing lunacy to keep from laughing out loud....
Grandma, you do not need your medical care.
Instead we Democrats found another stupid project for your money. Grandma you may as well die on our train.
It’s like socialism. The wrong people were in charge. This time we’ll get it right. Experience teaches us nothing.
The bullet train in Japan is elevated on cement towers. Unlikely accidents but expensive.
In all this time we haven’t been able to properly automate rail travel. Autonomous cars should be a real hoot.
And they have passengers/population that Need it and use it.
All that money just to help with Jerry Brown’s “daddy issues.”
Pat Brown had the State Water Project for a legacy and Jerry boy wants something similar. Voila, high speed rail.
Just proves Zero’s policies are a train wreck...
