President Obama, joined by Vice President Biden, announces $8 billion in Recovery Act funding for high-speed rail projects that will provide faster, more energy-efficient travel between cities and create new jobs for American workers. The announcement came during a Town Hall meeting in Tampa, FL. January 28, 2010.
SPEAKING OF UNACCEPTABLE ! Why are whites the ONLY unprotected race in america WHEN it comes to hate crime laws ? THAT SEEMS PRETTY RACIST DETERRING HATE CRIMES AGAINST EVERY RACE EXCEPT THE WHITE RACE by not protecting them IT IS ALMOST LIKE PROMOTING IT ! what would martin luther king say ? we all know what malcome x would say ! TOUGH ! WHITES DO NOT DESERVE TO BE PROTECTED ! hmmm what if blacks or hispanics were excluded ? hMMmMM
In Soviet Russia we have no president. What is president? Medvedev? Medvedev is retarded clown.
Why do I have a strange feeling that this rail system is going to lead to the same rail system that led to AUZCHWITZ in NAZI germany. Creating a rail system, doesn’t mean it is going to be a public owned rail system, does it. Even though it will probably have thousands of out of work people working on it.
The US is not a rail-centric nation. Never has been, never will be. Blame Ike if you want.
This massive waste of money will accomplish nothing more than sinking us further in debt. And God knows, we don’t have enough debt.
After the government goes on a property condemnation spree to steal the land for this, no one will use it. And we will be forced to subsidize it.
In the present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem – R. Reagan
excellent!
Go to love the way the Government is spending our money. We should give them more, they know how to spend it better than we do.
Loved the video
Btw, if you guys wanna learn how to hack wep [wii networks] or need photoshop full for free [CS4] Or wanna hack a flash games, wanna code a keylogger? Then Visit my channel <3 !!
yeah fuck the oil lobby, they’re responsible for all wars
the state that get the money will blow it and you`ll see no rail for nevada !
you have got to think outside the box… this project is way over due….this is a good idea hey i am a republican
wow! money grows on trees. YES it does! Yes we can!! *(Insert applause)*
I’ve wasted 2 semester of english 101 and flunked it twist and flunked out of college.
@sideslide23 I’m sorry, you must not have been able to afford the education in English?
@thudmother the Maglev route from Las Vegas to Anaheim project is proposed so there is a slight chance of having it.
yeah true because if we build more airports expand runways, and Buy more passenger aircraft, then the government going have to take your tax money, pay to the flight school all over the country, and use it for recruiting more airlines pilots because most people can afford the education on aviation.
Taxpayers subsidize Amtrac to the point that it would be cheaper to buy plane tickets for those traveling from CA to FL. I guess we’ll subsidize this new boondoggle to the point that it would be cheaper to give the passengers tickets on the concord.
I hope this will be magnetic levitation rail. 400+ mph trains. the oil lobby will hate it, but I hate all oil companies.
will this post?
Also if this is as awesome as the High Speed Rail here in Taiwan, America’s going to be hundreds of times cooler. Imagine if you could just hop on a train in west virginia and be in New York in a couple hours.
The man is getting more and more tired of getting cockblocked by republicans all the time. I’m looking to see something good coming out of him sooner rather than later.
More of the same from a President who has failed time and again to make good on his promises. President Obama has now been in office for more than a year and we now have an unemployment rate of almost 11 percent. Instead of working on real solutions that will help put people back to work, this Democrat Congress and Administration have used the economic downturn as an excuse to blow billions of taxpayer dollars on policies that are burying our kids and grandkids under mountains of debt.
Lol at the terroist comment. You know what if the American people where as brave as our soldiers we wouldn’t have this problem in our country. They cast their votes and scream at protest but don’t have the guts to take them on. If they hi jacked a plan or train I’m on I’m a die fighting, for my wife and kids. I want let any man take away their freedom. Don’t be scared of these terroist idiots. Stand up, take charge! This is America people this country was built on blood and sacrifice
i wish NOW i did not vote for obama.
The simpsons monorail ep. foreshadowed this
@bigdogsdontbark cuttiing taxes doesn’t guarantee business will hire. They can cut taxes, and a businesses still may not hire. So instead, they are giving tax credits to businesses who do hire. Meaning for every employee you hire, you get a tax credit. This is pretty much the same thing as cutting taxes, except cutting out the businesses who don’t hire. But i bet you’ll still find something to complain about.
