We already have a damn train that is subsidized by the taxpayers
Statists want to throw more taxpayer money down a vortex to pretend they're doing something...and then blame others when it doesn't work as usual.
To sum up the demented mind of a liberal.....
We must gut the US military to build high speed trains across the USA that will employ unions building the railroad system and most likely companies like GE that are big donators to the Obamination so they can get the lucrative contracts building the "green" trains and facilities.
Meanwhile we don't need to worry about Iran because they are friendly but have reasons to hate us because of the Shah. Russia and China are also friendly but they have good reasons to hate the USA too despite being saved by the USA in World War II.
Fighting terrorists is also a waste of money since they are like cockroaches and only kill one will make more of them, so just ignore them too and concentrate on building green stuff here in the USA with that defense money. Nobody will ever, ever, ever blow up the high speed trains.....
That about sums it up.

They think just SPENDING the taxpayers money by the Federal Government is the cure all for everything, screw REAL jobs

If High speed Rail is such a Efficient Viable Proposition, We would have Private Companies lining up for chance to do it. Why does everything always have to be with Public Funds? I mean I can Understand in Certain Corridors having High Speed Rail, But I am not about to sit by and Watch another Government Subsidized Industry set up.
Has anyone checked out Am Track lately? To Go from New Orleans to LA, Cost a Total of 857 Dollars, Almost 3 Times the average Air Fair for the Same Trip. While Both Air Lines and Am Track receive some Government subsidies. Airlines get about 1 Cent per Passenger Mile, while Amtrak Gets about 32 Cents per Passenger mile.
So that 857 Dollar 1 Way Ticket only costs the Rider 450, the rest is paid for by you guessed it, the Tax Payer. I don't expect any Government run high Speed Rail system to be any less inefficient and costly.
As Opposed to Am Track you have Freight Rail, which is not Ran by the Government, and was in fact deregulated about 25 Years ago. The Result. While Am Track continues to Lose money, and Cost way to much, Freight by rail continues to Grow, and become more and more affordable.
The Difference between having the Government run something, and letting private business do it.
Odds, are a Private company maybe with some Tax Incentives to do it, could set up a High Speed Rail Corridor that would cost less to Ride, and actually Turn a Profit, than any Government could.

How is improving the nation's infrastructure liberal bs?
Sounds like a smarter use of money than many other things.
How many people are going to use a coast to coast bullet train?
Compare that to how many of us will be paying for it.
The cost benefit analysis doesn't favor the project
Have you ever been out of the United States?
I suggest you go to Europe (or Japan).

Perhaps for high speed rail but there are other things that should be done a la infrastructure.

Time to go back and hit the books, son.
Revenues from fuel taxes are deposited into the Highway Trust Fund, which in turn is distributed to several accounts. Percentages to those accounts vary by fuel type, but the majority (approximately 83 to 87 percent) is deposited into the Highway Trust Fund account. This is used on road construction and maintenance.

That would include bridges, also. But, that fund has been raided so many times
