<p>[quote user="blue streak 1"]</p> <p>Phoebe: Looks like the rail people in NC will have to deal with the GOP following their try to kill HrSR work.. It certainly appears that the GOP with a few exceptions wants to make all of the US automobile drivers. But that is not possible. </p> <p>My example is suppose my mother who cannot drive wants to go to Raleigh. Now she will not ask me to drive her there because she would think it too much trouble for me to drive a round trip twice.But she will let me take her to the train station, ride the train, and have the person she is to visit pick her up at the Raleigh station. [/quote]</p> <p>Your could put her on Greyhound. It would not be as comfortable as the train. She might revel in the fact that she is traveling on a market based mode of commercial transport that was not owned and subsidized by the government. </p> <p>According to the article referenced, the cost to shave 13 minutes off the running time from Charlotte to Raleigh is approximately $41 million a minute. It certainly adds a new ring to the saying that time is money. Only a government agency would believe that it is money well spent, especially when the spender is facing an annual deficit of $1.6 trillion, which will increase the national debt to more than $15 trillion.</p>
