Railroads are moving more freight today than ever before. They are increasing their capacity to accommodate the increase.

The railroads are doing this almost entirely with private, non government funds. (An then they pay taxes on it!)

We don’t need the government to get involved in this. Let the private sector do what it can do so well.

Everybody seems to be assuming that the Trans TX Corridor is a done deal.

I hope I didn't imply I thought they should - I'm a federalist - or Frederalist - I'm also an Atlas Shrugged fan - and read the book 50 years ago -

I'm also a columnist and have a column ready to go on the latest nanny-state scheme - to enforce everyone to use only CFL's by 2012, like it or not and to hell with free markets
