It would be an interesting 'clash of the titans' if Obama did decide to use his new pet companies in this fashion. The parts would get made, but would any new rail systems actually get built?

One major problem in this country with high speed "bullet" trains is the cost of upgrading existing rail roadbeds or constructing new ones. The cost to have high speed capable rail lines "cris-crosing" the country would be phenomenal.

Amtrak has never operated without a government subsidy. Why does Mr. Moore think Obamarail would be any different?
