These People just won't learn, if the People wanted it, there would be company doing it!!!!!!!!!!
Gov. Kasich rejected already $400 million in federal funds to build a different train line but does not reject other rail projects out of hand.
We have a lot work ahead of us to turn this government away from free spending insanity.
Ohio and North East Ohio Ping
This is being seen as a much more palatable strategy than getting government off the back of small business so they can create jobs in the area. People can just be wisked through the area so fast on a high speed train that no one really pays attention to it any more. Of course, they don’t think anyone will actually ride the train, in which case they hope to turn it into a government owned theme park called “The Ghost Train”.
Cleveland, Detroit, Toledo, Buffalo....people would LOVE to leave those cities at the highest speed possible!
Cleveland, Detroit, Toledo, Buffalo....
A high speed boondoggle from, through, and to nowhere.
Agenda 21 light ?
These People just won't learn, if the People wanted it, there would be company doing it!!!!!!!!!!
Cities that have taxed, unionized, outforced business, lost HALF their population, doubled their welfare, illegals....want the rest of us to pay for a choo-choo so that gov paper-shufflers and a few urban metosexual hipsters can pretend they are in Deutschland.
Ohio’s “high speed “rail was to be 79 MPH...
Meaning I can get to cleveland FASTER by car...
Boondoggle.
There is 53 billion of the 100 billion., which one of those clowns happens to be Willie Green?????
I don’t understand the fixation with high speed rails for America. We a decentralized country with suburbs often as far as 60 miles from urban centers. We are well served by cars for our local travel and planes for our long-distance travel. What would we gain with high speed rails if we have to take a car or a plane to the rail station?
Of course. Il Douche gotta have *trains* if he's gonna make them run on time...
That rail line will be like all other rail lines and roads along Lake Erie. Every spring it will require a huge amount of maintenance and/or a severe cut in speed because of the instability of the rail bed.
LOL. If the people of Ohio think that a high-speed rail line is good idea, more power to them. However, don’t make me, here in Texas, pay for it unless you can show it is either in the national interest or will pay for itself - which can NEVER be done with schemes like that.
So if those guys REALLY want it, they can increase their income tax by 40% and pay for it themselves. I have no issue with that here in Texas.
In any event, I could get a bus leaving from someone in my area (or drive myself, if I had to) and get there in about two hours.
To get there by train? An hour or so subway ride to get to the Penn Station and another 3 hours by rail.
The big deal about this "express" train was that you no longer had to switch trains in Philadelphia. What they don't tell you is YOU STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH PHILADELPHIA!
IOW, the train isn't going where I need it to go!
The gangbangers train. Bums first, then hos and fat socialist mayors to the rear. ALL ABOARD! The road to perdition is straightaway.
Why do they call it “high speed” when it’s averaging 30mph, given all of the stops?
What we are spending in space we ought to be spending going into the ground. It’s naturally warm and cozy down there, at least to some degree. There’s earl down there, too!
Kasich realizes that if this was such a great investment then private business would be all over it.
