BTW the steel workers who would be put to work would have last names like Hsu, Lee and Lu and if they were allowed to have pasports they'd be in chinese. Maybe you meant 'iron worker' as they will at least have to build the bridges. The actual track laying is done by guys just starting out with the railroads, guys that aspire to 'ticket please' type of jobs. The elite of the class get to drive. And that steel used for high speed rail must have some detailed specifications and that means even more FOR CHINA. Now if somehow Dems could get other countries to build high speed rail or anything else using American engineers/workers they may be on to something. It's easy RIOT just come up with ideas that DON'T SPEND THE PEOPLES MONEY! Then again that would be far too unregulated and to close to private enterprise, ie capitalism for DEM comfort.
All the projects require American-made goods and workers.
