$50 million is about enough to fund high speed rail for about a city block...

Except this $50 million is going to be spent on talking about it. Probably not even any studies.

High speed rail along the whole west coast would be cool though, I'd love to see it.

200,000 employees? You have to sell a lot of tickets to pay for that.

Make it a Love Boat cruise ship theme. All the passengers are drunk. Swimming pool with slides. A travelling Disneyland. The NBA All-Star weekend. Sell those tickets.

Yeah, I'm sure it's just going to be used for more surveying, etc.

Used to take the train up to seattle to watch the blazers play the sonics and on the wins the ride back was one big party in the bar car. I know cause i had to sit outside and watch my dad party it up several times.

Bring it back.
