We should invest in a high speed rail network between all the major cities. Screw the airlines and interstates.


Who would ever fly or drive when you can get on a train in Boston and in total comfort run at 250mph to NY City, or DC, or Philly?
I have been a proponent of a properly operated high speed rail system for YEARS. When I was a young man in Germany many years ago I was amazed at how well one could get around on their train system.

Amtrak has done a very effective job of souring the average American on the idea unfortunately.
