Re: (rshsdepot) Let's build a high-speed railroad for the country

 It would be nice to think that we were in possession of a goverment that
was actually concerned with the American public's best interest, but we
can't.  This initive will die along with the rest of the plans, bills, etc.
to build a competitive and viable national rail system. The railroads pay
more in taxes on fuel, than trucks, but get almost nothing in return.  Look
at the subject, from the oil companies' point.  The better the rail system
(freight and passenger), the less trucks running the road. Lower truck fuel
sales and profit.  The more choices of alternate mass transportation the
public has available to them lower gasoline sales, and thus lower the
ridiculous and obscene profits that can be stolen from the pockets of the
public. Make no mistake about it, Big Oil has the best government that they
could buy. From the ballless President through the halls of Congress,
Senate, and The House, big oil owns the majority. If the Pres, Cong, Sen,
and the House had the best interest of the public in mind, oil company
executives would now be in prisons, where they belong, instead of picking
your pockets.
