Riding My Train: The Gospel According to Saint Donald

A Note on the Future of American Transportation. April 29th, 2011. Objections to the Obama Administration’s high-speed rail initiative are indicative of a broader distaste for any public transportation spending. The glee expressed by the commentariat — most conservative, though some to the left. Since 1990, the U.S. has added 60 million inhabitants, equivalent to the population of France. And yet our inflation-adjusted federal spending on transportation has. Are we out of our minds? For those who want to...
