We landed a man on the moon, and we cannot move rail, high speed rail around this country?

And I agree with my friend, Steve LaTourette, that until we have the political will to say we want to have a national passenger line...
What percent of high speed rail anywhere in the world, after we build the thing which is the easy part, in terms of finance, how do you pay for it?
I want to thank you, at this time, Mr. Chairman, for your work in H.R. 7122 to continue those benefits for our seniors and for people who are low income in our Medicaid program.
We think that the next reauthorization needs to identify new ways to connect those communities, either by rail or by intercity bus.
We think we need to invest more resources in helping local communities design transportation programs that help rural residents work outside the areas that they call home.
I cannot speak for Mr. LaTourette, but if you could give us the name of the person we should meet with, we would sure appreciate it.
I know Congressman LaTourette is on the eastern end of Ohio. I am on the western end of Ohio.
