I see this country's "assets" be they natural resources or its ability to grow edible commodities which can be exported as something that will be a plus for the railroads--regardless of who owns or controls them. With our un-believable and mounting) foreign debt, I can see a time when foreign countries might begin to "call in" some of that debt by economically "seizing" tangible assets. Since they probably won't be interested in Disneyland, any mineral reserves, or rights to or on Government-owned lands might be bargaining chips that our government-with-its-head-in-a-vise might have to "transfer" control of to avoid complete failure of the system. Would our government have to relinquish ownership of the highway system to foreigners??? Would they possibly nationalize the railroads as a precursor to transfer of ownership of that system too? The answer may come out of who manages to straighten out the economic mess first. If China (and to a lesser extent India and Russia.......) decide that they can function without the US buying their inexpensive stuff (and not paying for it) so that we can continue to party-as-usual, then they can play the big card(s) that they are holding. If the rest of the world cures their internals first and we end up being big floundering idiots emphasizing Political Correctness above all else first and not fixing our situation, they might have no other choice.
