As a taxpayer you are on the hook for $200 billion to build a choo-choo train, that it is now admitted, is too costly and few will use.
On the other hand, private interests are building TWO high speed choo-choo trains--without your tax dollars--and will make a taxable profit.
"Those on the Desert Xpress side assert that they can accomplish their project with private funding - although they may seek a federal loan - and can begin construction well before a Maglev line could happen.
Desert Xpress executives expect to make an announcement in about one month regarding a major investor for their project, Stone said. He said those talks are confidential.
Construction of Desert Xpress is projected to require three years. Future travelers could pay an average one-way fare of $55."
Private building: three years. Government: A generation.
Now you know why government is a waste.
