Dan Gainor : Rapid Rail is Really Just Political Pork - Townhall.com: "Little boys love to play with trains. It doesn’t stop, even when they grow up and move to Washington. Now the Democrats and Barack Obama are playing with trains and $8 billion of our money to build themselves a nationwide train set just like the Europeans.
It’s not really intended to build anything. Oh, sure, they’ll mouth the words about how wonderful rapid rail could be. As Vice President Joe Biden claimed recently, “it’s a down payment on a truly national program that's going to reshape the way we travel.”
It’s nothing of the sort. It’s a down payment on the 2012 election, Chicago style. Eight billion dollars doesn’t sound like much given the all-time biggest budget of $3.8 trillion. But that’s not the point. By committing to a bogus national rail system, Obama is promising billions of dollars of pork targeted at urban areas around the U.S. – nearly all of which voted Democrat in 2008."
