It’s stupid.

Rail is fine for cattle but people want the most expedient method of travel to get to their destination.

Atlas is shrugging. Railroads? Rand was prophetic. The lowest priority I have right now is a railroad or health insurance.

Mica has been fighting for a federally funded rail project in Central Florida his entire career. I don’t think a little thing like the Tea Party is going to stop him.

"...I believe all of America, in the various corridors around the country, will want high-speed rail if they see success here...

Typical political thinking: Build it then see if the consumer wants it.

"I believe it's good for America to develop a high-speed rail corridor in the Northeast corridor,

While the poor saps in the rest of the nation pay for it.

Funny thing, I don't remember anything about building railroads or Amtrack in the Constitution.

As a practical matter I wouldn’t get too upset about a rail project if we weren’t bankrupt.

But we are bankrupt, and nothing about high speed rail will help to change that. To pump billions into it, while we’re bankrupt, while shutting off energy development, which is the engine of the economy, is entirely backward.

Want to get the economy moving? Bulldoze regulations that make it excrutiatingly difficult to build any kind of power plant or factory. Do that, and leave the boondoggles alone.

There is no way a totally private rail system can be built and run at a profit. The fares would have to be enormous and that would kill off the ridership.

Forget it.

Dear Dumbass RINO-RATS:

If railroads make sense, let the free market provide it. CUT THE DAMN BUDGET!

This topic brings that old saying- “ride them out on a rail” to mind...
