I guess you are unaware(no big surprise there) that Kay Bailey Hutchison has pushed Congress to set up a $40 billion program to vastly expand intercity passenger rail in this country. She has previously stated her support for building a high-speed passenger rail system in Texas, with heavy gov't subsidy. Please explain how is she going to pay for that without a tax increase?

I never said Kay was an angel, and intercity trains are insane, considering what Southwest Airlines offers. Even Europe is now finding that there vaulted rail systems can't compete against low priced air travel.
I also said that I would like to see this Texas Transportation plan relegated to the ashheap of history, with Kay staying in the Senate. I'm no great Kay fan, but I would like to have a Republican that I can vote for, for governor, in 2 years.
