Alexander; <br />So you are saying that you would not agree in an investment in the rail system by the government on a scale that would approach the investment in the interstate highway system or airport or waterway system? I believe that this is the next logical place to invest our tax dollars wisely. Federal funds have helped to create such a unbalanced system in favor modes other than rail passenger. And, IMO, as long as we are spending our money anyway, I think rail passenger is the most logical way to go for the optimum bang for the buck. Why not take SOME of the cash now going into expansion of the highway and larger airports and put it into the rail passenger network? Is it okay that the majority of the subsidy money goes into air and highway, while rail is allowed to whither?
