What is up with all the talk about train networks being the solution? Do our leaders think that we can't travel in this country without a new, high-speed train network?
No, that can't be right. They must be aware that:
A) We already can travel where and when we need to.
B) If running a high-speed train network was profitable, someone would already being making money doing it.
C) Passenger trains have sucked money for years - they run at staggering losses that are made up for by the taxpayer.
D) Most Americans own one or more of their own vehicles and we have the world's best roadway network.
Surely they realize that our cars are more than a symbol of our freedom, they actually enable personal freedom. Why would they want to get rid of... Oh, wait. I get it...
