The most logical way to finance the Alaska Rail Link is to give a land grant to whatever entity is awarded to rights to build the link. Doesn't the federal government own something like 10,000,000 acres of land in the Great State of Alaska? Why not take half that and give it as the land grant to the eventual rail link builder? You can bet your bottom dollar the rail link would be built within our lifetimes with such a land grant. Unfortunately, most of you supposedly pro-rail types are also predisposed to the far left take on political issues such as land grants (e.g. you'd all oppose the idea of reducing the amount of federal land ownership in the West, instead insisting on taxpayer funding of the project), thus due to the predominance of left wing extremism, the rail link will never ever be built. It's as simple as that!
