What's Your Hurry

8 billion for choo-choo trains is more than we can afford. We have a lot of problems here in America that need at5ending to before we jump on this rush-to-the-future bandwagon. Mr. Obama seems to think, since China is going to spend 300 billion on this fool notion, we have to follow. Since when were we in the business of following behind the red Chinese?

What’s wrong with our rail system anyway? It worked fine when it was built in my grandfather’s day and what’s good enough for him is good enough for me. There’s nothing wrong with good old American ingenuity.

The problem is we’re getting to soft. This country was built on the rough and ready shoulders of men willing to risk being a little uncomfortable and ride out into the wilderness and tame it. Are we going to give up our proud tradition and bow to these namby-pamby riders in their button-down suits crying over a little spilt milk in their Am-Track trains.

I say there is better things to do then put tens of thousands to work on huge a boone-doggle like high-speed rail. We can spend just as much throwing it away fixing the old track.

Are we going to follow China’s high-speed rush into the future? Be cause the have high-speed rail whizzing people around in Europe are we going to go back to following the way of the old country? This is America. We do things are own way, the American way. What do you say to high-speed rail? I say no. What’s your hurry America?
