Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumMy favorite thing about Biden might be high-speed rail.
Was reading some articles about high-speed rail, and it reminded me. Obviously, Bernie is my top candidate, but Biden's always been big on railroads, and maybe if he becomes president we can finally join Asia and Europe with a decent high-speed rail network. He would probably push harder for it than anyone else.

(86 posts)Build regional high-speed rail. Many other developed nations have advanced high speed rail systems. A $607 billion investment in a regional high-speed rail system would complete the vision of the Obama administration to develop high-speed intercity rail in the United States. This new system will give travelers a meaningful affordable alternative to plane or car travel between major cities. The reason high-speed rail has not worked in the United States is because we have not built the political mobilization needed to demand the funding needed to complete this vision. Together, we will create the movement needed to develop high-speed rail.

Several candidates have plans on what to build and how to pay for it. Forget about "maybe" and "would probably" when there is real information to be found on this issue.
