High-speed rail major focus on upcoming presidential budget. The Hill: "The White House announced a plan Tuesday to spend $53 billion over six years ... part of a long-term plan to provide 80 percent of the U.S. population with access to high-speed rail within 25 years ... The plan also clarifies the long-term federal role in passenger rail that will provide states and cities with more certainty to make long-term transportation plans for their communities."
Fix the roads!! Maintain what we already have first!!!
No need to worry, this proposal is DOA.
Gawd, I hope they do make this the cornerstone of the 2012 elections. They just don't get it. WE DON'T RIDE TRAINS! WE RIDE IN OUR CARS! PREFERABLY ONE PERSON PER CAR!

Been there, done that.
If gas goes to $4 a gallon, it won't be the fault of people like me Dennis, it will be the fault of people like you.
