"So why not give that $6.2 billion to California and Illinois, states with Democratic governors who actually favor the idea of high-speed rail"

I was gonna suggest that. Not Ill, of course.


I want the money for WA state.

If you are going to spend that kind of money on a big project, I'd like to see it spent on a high voltage transmission system. There is no question this would add value and it would open opportunities for developing more green energy facilities like wind farms. Adding another human transport system doesn't add value.
