Maybe spend some rail money where there is demand by unashamed, actual passengers?

Maybe spend some rail money where there is demand by unashamed, actual passengers?:

As we wait to discover if $1.25 billion is enough to lure Floridians from their free-to-use interstates to pay-to-use railroads (prediction: not until the next oil crisis), what if we also rewarded living and breathing passengers by making things a little bit less crappy on the northeast routes that are frequently sold out (and — what’s the word? — profitable) even in their current dilapidated state?

“For years, Democrats have failed to grasp the fact that they are perceived as “weak” not because of any specific policies, but because they are perceived — rightly — to believe in nothing (or at least nothing that they claim to believe). It is hard to imagine any act that could more strongly bolster that perception than to watch Barack Obama — yet again — scamper away from his own claimed principles all because the GOP is saying some mean things about him.”
