![]() Because infrastructure costs big money. The good thing will be the states that benefit from the income once built. The economic development corridor opportunities. Tourism, travel, increased access to other towns for job opportunities, construction and manufacturing jobs created by the thousands during building, permanent jobs associated with it afterwards.

There's no way people say in N. Dakota should pay for a train in Florida. Just as Floridians shouldn't pay for a Milwaukee Madison line. I suggest you look up the name Henry Flagler who built his railway over ocean in the late 1890's. If he could do it then, Buffett can do it now. Government belongs in the governing and defense business not the rail business, post office, health care administrator/provider, hospitals, banking, mortgage, auto manufacturing etc etc ad nausea.

Illinois toll booths and tollways are run by IL not the Fed though like every state agency they get their share of fed grade A pork. Now if I had to pay an IL toll passing through North Dakota I'd consider it a problem.

![]() If we could just go back to the 1950's .... oh, heck, the 1850's .... like the Republicans seem to desire, all would be okay!
![]() Today I read where the original settlers - yes, the pilgrims - collected money (taxes) and declared public schools for everyone a necessity for the good of the colony. COMMUNIST LIBERALS! ![]()

The Puritan settlers not the pilgrims built the first public school in America 15 years after the Mayflower. In addition to building the first school these communist liberals as you call them, had a strange obsession with hunting Quakers. They also banned Quakers from their colony and presumably from the school. They also saw no problem with mixing theocracy and democracy much like most of the muslim world. They hung woman in the public square and unlike the muslim world that led to their extinction. America was great even back then. ![]()
