I noticed a recent article that just oozed happiness over the prospect of receiving millions of dollars to provide a high-speed rail system from Detroit to Chicago.
The same thing would happen to United States citizens (at a much slower pace).
I "googled" Amtrak's earnings for the past several years, and discovered that not one year was profitable, and Amtrak had to be "subsidized" in every route at a great cost to the taxpayers.
I would like you to ask readers how often they ride a train anywhere. Well, the "gift" of many millions of dollars from the federal coffers would be the gift that keeps taking and taking and taking.
By the way, I wonder where the "gift" of many millions of dollars came from?
