    Oh yeah? How did Obama/Biden's last proposal in 2009 go? That's right, only a fraction of the funding ($11bn) got approved, and only a fraction (15%) of it was spent at all. And none of it on high-speed rail.

      Not true. California got a lot of it, and is spending it on HSR.

      Wisconsin got a bunch of funding too and literally had already gotten trains built and delivered until Scott Walker sent the money back. The trains are just sitting in a yard in Indiana, painted badger red and everything.

        Truly, democracy is the best system of governance.
