>> True, and that is why high speed rail in the rest of the world is built with dedicated track. We could do this, we built a wonderful thing called the interstate highway system in a relatively short period of time, and the benefits have been immense IMO...

We have excellent capital markets to build HSR where it makes sense. There is currently an effort underway to secure funding for the Texas system. But there are relatively few routes in this country that make economic sense.

Just because something works well in another country (whether it is health care or high speed rail) does not mean it will work well here.
