RE: Amtrak's high-speed rail vision for 2040: New York to Washington in 96 minutes
NY to Washington DC? It would be like flushing more money down the toilet. The last thing we need is a faster way for congressmen to get away from DC where they are supposed to be working.
I say shut down the airport and interstates serving DC until the economy has fully recovered and the number of EMPLOYED US citizens is 75% of the adult population.
Wake me up when Amtrak figures out how to have reliable a network of MODERATE speed rail to replace airline travel within the US.
