<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="dehusman"] <P>Don't hold your breath.</P> <P>$8 billion of the stimulus goes to fund "hi-speed rail" between LA and Las Vegas. They don't have a route, they don't have RoW purchased, they have no grading done, they have no materials ordered. </P> <P>So the "improvements to infrastructure" really is not going to build a railroad, its going to fund planning on how to spend more billions of dollars decades from now to build a railroad (maybe).</P> <P>The major beneficiary is not the traveling public, it is Senator Harry Reid, the Senate majority Leader and Senator from the great state of Nevada. Your choice of which part of the pig this $8 billion piece of pork comes from.</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>I heard it is going to be maglev. How far is it from LA to LV? Eight billion sounds like it would be good for about 40 miles.</P>
