America might finally be looking out from under the rock of 1958 and is
turning a corner on high speed rail.
Panyanouvong said he loves the idea of jumping on a train, turning on his computer and getting some work done on his way to Tampa, "without having to worry about traffic or driving."
But the idea is much bigger than convenience, say supporters, who believe high-speed intercity rail will cut U.S. dependence on foreign oil, reduce climate-changing pollution and fatten wallets by triggering economic development.
Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, these new dollars represent a historic investment in the country's transportation infrastructure. It will help create jobs and transform travel in America, according to a U.S. Department of Transportation official.
While boosting the economy with tons of news jobs, decreasing pollution and making for the possibility of putting a dent into our annual loss of 50,000 lives from car crashes will send us spiraling down a path towards becoming Euro-fags therein meaning Obama has declared victory in his desperate achings to destroy freedom as we know it
(and killing more fetuses!), I think this is great news.
