Can you think of a bigger boondoggle than "High Speed Rail?"?

Question

The "Big Dig" comes to mind but I think would be dwarfed by the ridiculous choo-choo train boondoggle.

Answer 1

High speed rail is working profitable all over the world, why not here?

Answer 2

It would be awfully tough to come up with a bigger one.... probably the worst part is that the high speed rail bondoggle is old news, it's been getting pimped for decades. O should have come up with something better, like solar panels that fit on the human head or something.

Answer 3

Yeah, I can think of quite a few boondoggles, quagmires, legerdemains, triptophans and trundlebumpkins. ALL of which are bigger than high speed rail.

Answer 4

No its is absolutely asinine, it will cost billions and be ran at a loss to the taxpayer and consume more energy , electric , produced by coal, and cause more pollution than the greenies ever thought of it is one obama made disaster, in my opinion

Answer 5

A high speed rail would be a great benefit to many people. In Europe it's a great way to travel from city to city and it save on resources.

Answer 6

Considering high speed trains aren't even manufactured in America the money will be going to profit overseas companies.

Answer 7

I'm surprised Conservatives aren't a little more receptive to the idea of modernizing our mass transit capabilities, especially considering how they cry about airport security.

Answer 8

It is Amtrak x10.



This is AMERICA! You can't even get people to carpool, much less ride the rails. We are too free and independent for that crap.

Answer 9

Ever hear the expression, Going Nowhere fast ? choo, :(

Answer 10

It's an idea whose time has come. It's about time that we catch up with the rest of this world in this regard.

Answer 14
