California has approved high speed rail. The Democrats got it passed. The Republicans are not for it.
I can understand Republicans objecting to the project because of the cost. The cost will be, are you ready for this, $68 billion dollars.
It will create a lot of jobs but the ability for people to get around at a high speed is the main reason I think it is a good idea.
You have to have government do things like this… That is one of the reasons we have government.
Texas has been talking about high speed rail. But here the Republicans control everything and the Republicans want it to be funded by private corporations. They do not want the government to fund high speed rail.
So it does not look like it will get done.
Texas is such a big state that this state needs high speed rail.
High-speed rail in the United States
When the weather gets cooler this year I may take the train to a few places in Texas. But if I do I think I will spend the night and then return by train.
If we had high speed rail I could take the high speed train and leave in the morning and eat lunch and check out some city in Texas and then return to Fort Worth in the evening.
I think the last time I was on a train was when I went to welding school in OH. I took the train from Kansas City to Cleveland OH. That was just before John F. Kennedy was elected President of the United States. I remember because I had to vote for Kennedy by absentee ballot.
