A PALTRY 8 Billion for high speed rail?
The cost to replace Alaska Way Viaduct here in Seattle gonna cost about 2 Billion.
Granted…it is not a rail project, just a mere tunnel running North to South about the length of downtown Seattle. Probably from Spokane St to Denny Ave.
But if one lousy tunnel costs 2 Billion what can be accomplished with 8 Billion?
The big dig in boston cost 12 billion. 8 billion will become 100 billion, which wll become 150 billion, with interest.

The really beautiful thing about it is that federal tax dollars will be used to fund it. And where will it be? I’m sure it’s going to have a hub right here in my little rural town, right, so I will get maximum benefit for my tax dollars. Awesome.

Obama is a liar. The high speed rail in Florida was approved by the voters several years ago. It was voted an amendment to the Florida Constitution. Now that sorry goat face a hole in DC wants us to believe HE dit it? Hes a liar of the Highest Magnitude! My guess is that Disney/NBC lobbied Obummer to build that route right to the disney gates!!! Wanna BET? Additionally, the voters at the time told Disney to stick it!

You are right. The government should be asking companies for bids to build these high speed trains.
