If High speed rail would make a profit they would be people lining
up to bid on the private to invest in a private company.

Good point. The pols would be getting campaign contributions for
bidders trying to buy, er, sway the pols.

Instead, they've come up with this scheme to get the taxpayer to fun
union dem contributions, not to mention providing jobs for their
ne'er-do-well offspring and in-laws.

Do the math. Even at $5 a gallon, its cheaper to drive to Orlando and back than its to sit in a train which will never really be high speed due to the number of stops it would be required to make. When you factor in the time savings going by car, high speed rail really can’t compete.
