Hi Gang China's official Xinhua News Agency reported that more then 150 train pairs (apparently each way) will run every day at 186 MPH over their new 1,428 mile system which together with others makes more then 5,800 miles of high speed tracks so that this isin't their first one, plus four more, two each north/south and east/west are to be completed by 2020. Bullet trains for Japan and France are costly, unprofitable luxurys and turned down by Florida's Governor Rick Scott despite Federal monetary incentive and State pride as unprofitable. Compared to cars, buses, planes, todays trains, fuel, traffic jams, accidents, upkeep and time it will save. Train Stations are in town and airports are outside and so need transportation to get there and back. As a Green Energy matter why doesn't the Captalist system take advantage of 186 MPH technology, isn't this the future of mass transportation? Commuist China could not make Bullet Trains and all the other advances as quickly as they did without the help of profit motivated Captalists installing their latest technologies as Joint Ventures, half Captalist and half government owned Socialists. Incidentally in todays news the USA has reached the borrowing limit of $16.4 Trillion so it has to be raised so we can borrow more. A good reason on why H.R. 5542 must and I am sure will be passed eventually. Hey Gang of Three do you understand the points I am making about Socialisim and Captalisim and selling rope to the hangman? Bolshavik Blumenthal
