Have you heard about Obama’s plan to build highspeed rail all around America? I just heard about it today. Seems really cool even though it’s probably 75 years away from being complete and 250 years before it’s paid for.
What we’re talking about is a vision for high-speed rail in America. Imagine boarding a train in the center of a city. No racing to an airport and across a terminal, no delays, no sitting on the tarmac, no lost luggage, no taking off your shoes. (Laughter.) Imagine whisking through towns at speeds over 100 miles an hour, walking only a few steps to public transportation, and ending up just blocks from your destination. Imagine what a great project that would be to rebuild America.
Imagine, now keep imagining b/c I predict it won’t happen. If we can’t even roll out a digital tv transition without delays… how’s this gonna happen?
