<p>We had a public discussion that we are loading the government debt onto the shoulders of unborn generations. As a result new indebtedness got limited to 0.35% of GDP with exeption for catastrophes in our constitution. We had a balanced budget in the last few years and to keep this is the long term goal.</p> <p>On the other hand public transportation is a service for the public defined in our contitution too.</p> <p>When Deutsche Bahn started HSR they were able to update trackage already certified for 100 mph. A lot of our HSR trackage is still track updated to 125 and 155 mph. Were necessary special real HSR lines were built.</p> <p>The relation Hamburg to Stuttgart is about the same length as SF to LA but takes about 5.5 hours for the above reasons. It is still competetive with highway and air travel.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
