I'm a Republican and I'm not anti-rail, I'm just anti building something that's going to require
huge amounts of subsidy to continue it's operation once it's built. You can't expect the taxpayers
to continue to pay more and more taxes, it's the path to a very nasty future confrontation. I'm
all for building a system which at least would cover it's operating expenses plus some retained
for future maintenance. I find it hard to believe that HSR would do that regardless of the many
promises made to the contrary.
