Should we ask Kentucky Colonels for leadership advice?
In my opinion, we should have State and federal Standards to establish. For example, every State capitol should connect with the federal capitol via high speed rail. In that same manner, county seats could be connected to State capitols.
Stations could connect the private sector at convenient locations.
That's going to be a hell of a bridge from Alaska and Hawaii... (Or do we not count as states in California?)
it may take a while longer for them; how about an underwater tunnel?
Ah... you're one of those ideological idiots who has no clue what they're talking about.
Here's a Google map,

You have a look see at Honolulu, Hawaii and Juneau, Alaska and consider what you're saying. For the record, it is not even technologically possible to do /either/ of your requested things in Hawaii or Alaska.
Even if it /were/ possible that we could build an underwater tunnel to hold up against the atmospheric pressures of the Pacific Ocean (for 2,430 miles mind you,) and that we could get Canada to sign off on us building a high speed train through their nation, and that we could /afford/ the monumental hundreds of billions of dollar project, and that's not even getting into the costs, economic impacts, and technological hurdles of "connecting all counties to the state capitals", what exactly is the purpose of your idealistic mental adventure of high speed trains? You believe that connecting these things will some how improve jack?
You son are a perfect example of why the Electoral College is far, far more beneficial to this nation than Popular Vote.
