The Florida High-Speed Rail issue should never have been on the ballot in the first place. Its backers never informed the voters of the truth about it - namely, that it would forever be a drain on the taxpayers of Florida and would never come close to paying for itself. Reason: No public transportation entity in the world makes money without having its hand in the taxpayers' pocket unless it provides some sort of premium service for which it could extract the utmost fare possible. Two examples come to mind - a taxicab company which offers door-to-door service (and still doesn't pay for the streets it uses) and a cruise ship line, which is not really in the business of transportation. The reason for this is that no one will pay for his transportation what it's worth. You wouldn't use Amtrak if they had to cover all their costs out of fares; you couldn't afford to fly if airlines had to do the same thing. The Florida High-Speed rail needs to die the death it deserves. There may, traffic-wise, be a need for it, but the Florida and the US taxpayer need to know just how much it'll cost them. They've never been told. Sorry, guys. Jeb's right on this one.
