We will build the roads, highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, and the railways of tomorrow. This, in turn, will create millions of more jobs.

Thanks Wanswheel .. That was the reference, just didn't want to venture too far. So glad you picked up on it.. I thought it was a fairly profound statement .. He hesitated a second before adding it on
He has talked previously about High Soeed Rail and how the rest of the world is ahead of us. I find it at least encouraging that it's mentioned.
Wasn't the theme song to the 1939 World's Fair "Hi-Ho, Come to the Fair?"
Which to my knowledge actually predates the '39-'40 World's Fair. Maybe DaveKlepper needs to sound off on this, he was there!
I've heard "Come to the Fair," I think it's actually quite charming. It' s a hell of a lot better than "It's A Small World After All" which I only mentioned because someone else did first!
"Small World" makes my skin crawl, it makes Lady Firestorm homicidal!

Thank you, Mike. I am out of the political loop too much, I guess. Strange that a Google search on the phrase produced utterly no reference to this as of this morning -- I expect that will change fairly quickly.
Wonder if he left 'railways' to the end for special emphasis, or just because that's where he ranks them?
Excerpted from an NBC Today Show, originally broadcast February 17, 1979 hyping up the new NBC show "Supertrain", one of the more infamous failures on network television. See Jane Pauley, young Tom Brokaw, and Gene Shalit introduce a filmed package (remember those?) by Jack Perkins at the MGM lot where Supertrain was filmed.

Our horrible trade agreements with China, and many others, will be totally renegotiated. That includes renegotiating NAFTA to get a much better deal for America and we'll walk away if we don't get that kind of a deal. Our country is going to start building and making things again.
Next comes the reform of our tax laws, regulations and energy rules. While Hillary Clinton plans a massive, and I mean massive, tax increase, I have proposed the largest tax reduction of any candidate who has run for president this year, Democrat or Republican. Middle-income Americans will experience profound relief, and taxes will be greatly simplified for everyone. I mean everyone.
America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world. Reducing taxes will cause new companies and new jobs to come roaring back into our country. Believe me. It will happen and it will happen fast.
Then we are going to deal with the issue of regulation, one of the greatest job killers of them all. Excessive regulation is costing our country as much as $2 trillion a year, and we will end and it very quickly.
We are going to lift the restrictions on the production of American energy. This will produce more than $20 trillion in job-creating economic activity over the next four decades.
My opponent, on the other hand, wants to put the great miners and steelworkers of our country out of work and out of business. That will never happen with Donald J. Trump as president. Our steelworkers and are miners are going back to work again.
54light15 Yes, but is it worse than "It's a Small World" or "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing?" Or, worse yet, "Watching Scotty Grow?"
Yes, but is it worse than "It's a Small World" or "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing?" Or, worse yet, "Watching Scotty Grow?"
Yes. And "Billy, Don't be a Hero", or the song the otherwise-rational music teacher at my sister's school overreacted to whenever he heard it, "The Music Goes Round and Round" ... or any of the awful songs from that awful Sergeant Pepper abomination, which I overreact to whenever I hear it...
I was tempted to put up a link that has the song in it, but I find I have some vestige of compassion left. If you find it ... you will know. But be aware that what has been heard cannot be unheard.
Yes, but is it worse than "It's a Small World" or "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing?" Or, worse yet, "Watching Scotty Grow?" Cripes, now I can't stop thinking of them! Damn it!
Miningman " ...and building the railways of tomorrow". I assume this is a reference to modern high speed rail. Perhaps encouraging innovation and less regulations for freight. Meeting the challengers of tomorrow. What did it mean to you?
What did it mean to you?
Not much ... without the actual reference itself, not just a snippet from it, and without the context. Perhaps the 175th anniversary of the facilities at Derby?
There's as much transit content in "does this tram proceed to an estuary" and as much alternative transport in "my hovercraft is full of eels".
Try again and put the context in this time...
Does this have something to do with 'building the world of tomorrow' at the immediately-prewar New York World's Fair?
(Just as a comment, the Fair had perhaps the most awful, smarmy theme song that was ever written. It makes 'We are the Children' sound reasonably good by comparison ... and believe me, that takes a heap of doin'.)
meaningless words
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
NYC already did that!
