There has been much debate about high speed rail here in Florida. Our govenor told the Feds to keep their money. High speed rail is a loser.
The problems are: The cost to run it falls on the states. The area is serves is too short. The ridership predictions are way too rosy. The state's taxpayers will be stuck with the shortfalls.
Oh sure it would put some more folks to work in cushy government jobs earning retirement benefits we all wish we could get, but it's time the public in each state told the federales no!
