High speed rails cannot be justified. There effect on reducing auto traffic is less than 5%, less energy efficient and a few other things that essentially make this a loosing proposition. If it is such a great or practical idea, industry will pursue the opportunity. I recall reading some stats from CATO institute several months ago. High speed rails cannot be justified.

WITH THEIR HARVARD AND PRINCTON EDUCATION. FAST RAILS HELP ZERO PEOPLE IN AMERICA. THE SO CALLED GOVERNMENT IN OFFICE SHOULD COME UP WITH GETTING THE TRUCKS OFF THE HIGHWAYS, AND BACK ON RAILS. JUST HOW MUCH GAS AND DESEL DOES THESE BIG TRUCKS COST? NOT TO MENTION THE WEAR AND TEAR ON OUR ROADS. IF OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT WAS HALF AS SMART AS THEY ACT.

Train arrived 105 minutes late. (2) April 2009 Engine failed at least ten times. Train left NYC 38 minutes late and arrived 2 hrs 25 minutes late. A woman traveler going to Portland ME had to spend the night in the bus station due to missed connections with no help from AMTRAK personnel. Government in action.

The tea parties need to be just the start of telling the "chosen one" that we will not stand for his stimulis plan that is sending this country down the tubes. WE NEED TO VOTE IN THE 2010 ELECTIONS AND HOPE WE CAN PUT SOME SOUND MINDS IN THE CONGRESS. Obama is a big mistake that America has made.

Don’t you ever get tired of being the idiots? Face it, the right lost and continues to lose public approval. The “loyal opposition” has sunk to the “seditious opposition” and is verging on the “traitorous opposition”. Were the roles reversed, we WOULD be in a police state." Someone please tell me what this silly tantrum has to do with (supposed) HSR or economics in general? Mr. Berry seems to believe that NO republicans at all were elected or re-elected in the last round. If the left won so handily, then why is it that Hairy Reed STILL does not have his 60-seat majority in the senate? He also needs to look up the definitions of "sedition" and "traitor." Not to mention perhaps a bit of U.S. history - I'm pretty sure the Alien and Sedition Acts were overturned quite a while ago. Typical insubstantial crybaby leftist ranting - the same stuff Pelosi and Read use to cram their leftist pabulum down our throats. "Neil Berry, Indianola, WA writes:
