- Biden, who estimated he has ridden Amtrak between Washington and his home in Wilmington, Delaware, some 7,900 times

That’s about an hour?

Amazing how easy it is for some people to spend money they don't have on projects we don't need with an outcome we can't predict!

Oh, yeah, when the government is in charge, the outcome is usually far worse than anyone could predict.

They aren’t missing him at all. Who do you think threw him over the fantail?

That’t the second place he’s been thrown out of. The first was his village.

While we’re at it lets build a 50 mile high golden tower for all the left wing elite. There is no shortage of human chattel to pound the metal with their bare bones.

This has been the default idea to the left for decades. Nobody wants the train except for Rat pols (Biden) so they can travel between DC and NYC more comfortably.

Drunken sailors spend their own money.

What is it with high speed trains and liberals? They seems to have the same lust for them that Gollum had for the ring.

Before a dime is spent on a high speed train the people ought to force the government to answer a few simple questions.

1. Will this be a self sustaining business and if so, at what percent capacity is required to make a profit?

2. Where will the tracks go and who’s property will be taken through eminent domain?

3. How will the passengers get around once they reach their destination?

Bankrupt. But they have no hope of recovery in the Federal Government. Might as well let it ride to the end. I have come to the conclusion it is hopeless. It will be up to the states to call con-con to save us.

The morons here in California approved a high speed rail project in the central valley. It would only serve 5000 people a year. We’re broke and the Dems want to do this. It’s like watching someone on welfare by a new Lexus.

They do seem fixated on the trains. Maybe it is just all they have left. High speed trains to save America. Yep. It has to be a mental disorder of some sort. Now days construction is done by big ole machines not peons with shovels. Obama would be better off calling for the Great Pyramid of Obama to be built in Death Valley by millions of people with stone tools.

Democrats think the only way to garner approval is to promise to spend more money.

SEIZE our paychecks is more like it.

Sadly, I think that you are right. Absent a real miracle it’s America RIP.
