I earned a handsome salary for decades because of my ability to think outside of the box.  Amongst other things my teams took our Fortune 250 Corporation from a paper intensive entity to a nearly paperless one.  Application of practicable and affordable technology solutions were the key to our success.  We relied on what would work then and could be sold to executive management; we did not turn to solutions that worked 100 years ago.     The key in out of the box thinking is to come up with solutions that are workable and affordable.  Ideally, they pay for themselves and do not rely on government subsidies.  Out of the box solutions that are impracticable are in fact not out of the box at all.   See my post on the New Mexico Rail Runner Express, under Transit, for a good example of where affordable, workable passenger rail is a good fit.  It suits a transport need for people in Belen, Albuquerque, and Santa Fe.   And it is something New Mexico, which paid for most of it, could afford.    What the United States spends on defense or other programs has nothing to do with what how it should allocate stimulus funds to subsidize passenger rail.  The key questions are where is passenger rail the optimum solution for a mobility problem; how much capacity is needed (lift and speed), as opposed to the needs in other countries, and how will it be funded?
