Short video that shows all the players. Who will GAIN. Who will LOSE. This is a national scam moving down the tracks.

The real story behind HSR

[Buckeye McFrog]

they love trains because in the first half of the 20th. century they were proven to be a very efficient and effective method of shipping vast portions of the population off into camps....

[driftless2]

If I had a job fifty to one hundred miles from my home, then I guess high-speed rail would be great. But I don’t live that far from my job, and neither do most Americans. The only commuters who use less-than-high speed rail now are the ones who work in the huge megalopolises. In short, there is no demand for high-speed rail. Except in the wild imaginations of liberal eco-freaks.

Cars = Freedom

Trains = control

The government can control subsidies, ridership, lines, schedules, security, regulations. Yes, those liberals love controlling our lives. That is hard to do when every Tom, Dick, and Harry has the freedom to take his car anywhere he wants any time he wants.

Willie Green should be here to defend the choo choos. Alas he was zotted!

[Carry_Okie]

Will misses the point: Unionized bureaucrats would have control over whether you could even leave town. All they would have to do is to cut the power, effectively turning cities into large-scale death camps.
