A big part of what made this country prosperous was the implementation of ships, then railroads, then highways, then freighter planes. These conveyances made it easy to move goods (and people) around. That made a giant difference and the US became a monster economy.

BUT other countries (e.g., China) have not only caught up with, but passed our technology. So it's time to, at least, match the leading technology. And that, in part, means high-speed rails.

It's a no-brainer actually.

I noticed that the U.S. has imported mass transit rail cars from Asia. Great job. The entire U.S. Congress belongs in prison!
