Here's an idea - how about we make it so that ....
(A)highway users pay the full cost of building and maintaining highways via fuel taxes and other user fees, and
(B)HSR users pay the full cost of building and maintaining HSR via ticket prices and other user fees, and
(C)not one penny of highway user fees go to HSR, and not one penny of HSR user fees go to highways?
How about it?
Any of you HSR proponents care to take that deal? After all, you are the ones who always drag up that old "roads are subsidized, so why not subsidized HSR" mantra.
