[quote user="aegrotatio"] The recent conference on nationwide HSR has defined new names.  Since we Americans call Acela "High Speed Rail" the new nationwide 220 MPH system is cleverly going to be called "Very High Speed Rail."[/quote] Did the "Wise Men and Women" who attended the conference on nationwide HSR offer a detailed plan on how they propose to pay for it?  For a nation with federal and government debt totaling $13.8 trillion, which is projected to grow to $22.8 trillion in 2019, as well as an estimated $43 trillion of unfunded liabilities (Social Security, Medicare, Military Pensions, etc.), those advocating a passenger rail system that will require massive government (federal, state, and local) funding should offer a detailed plan on how they plan to pay for it.
