Tramsportation

I was in a conversation with my neice talking about the lack of railroads and she thought we had some . Like from here there are trains once a day at 3 am in the morning from the nearest town. Weeeeell anyway the train goes to Chicago and also comes back from Chicago. We rode it one time and I think that it stopped for every freight train. In other words we really do not have a passenger service. From what I gather we really do not have a truly a freight service. Just think in China, Japan etc they have 200 mile per trains. What do we have or even to look forward to such a service. You know what helps keep it down is the Republican Governours that keep saying no. Just like that :::Republican Governour of Minnesota who would not take any Federal Money to help build the highways there and guess what happened when the Bridge Fell apart in Minneapolis on the Interstate - he had to ask Bush for money to rebuild the Bridge that he turned down or so I understand that when he left the office in Minnesota he left the State in 10 Billion dollars in debt and yet he is one of the Republicans that want to be presiden.t Again back to the RR's with out the Federal money we have no Railroard s just like the Federal highway system. Remember it was Eisenhower that built the Roads on the basis of the need of the Defense Dept. It sure was not the states or the private companies on their won. Without the Federal money that is needed there would not be anything. I guess if we want to get this country going again there has t o be a lot of Federal money again. The States will not do it on their own nor will Private money do the job. When is the American people going to wake up and try to understand what is going on and what is needed. But that is why we need to tax the rich and put that to work for the average person. I guess nobody reads this and does not want to learn what is really going on. It is quite a learning process writing this blog regardless whether anybody reads this or not.
