Your first sentence nicely sums up the point of my post, which was to draw attention to a new company that has the potential to create beneficial new jobs here in the U.S. However, the rest of your sentences are clouded by an angry, confrontational tone and insulting language, so I’m not quite sure what your point is.

However, maybe you could be a little bit more honest about why both the Incoming Gov. of Ohio and the NJ governor have or will cancel Passenger rail projects. This is what Governor Christie said in cancelling the project, “After weeks of trying to find a way to keep the ARC Tunnel project alive, Gov. Christie said, no one in the federal government or New York came forward with the at least $2.5 billion it would take to cover projected cost overruns that New Jersey taxpayers would then have to pay.” Let’s see if this makes sense, Governor Christie is responsible to the Tax payers of New Jersey, sounds like he is doing his job. Maybe you should focus some of your anger on this one at the FEDS (Obama???) or New York State?? In regards to China being able to build Passenger Rail projects quickly and expansively I challenge you like I did Zach to do some research and detail the reasons China can build so quickly, cheaply and with little public outcry vs what it takes in the USA to get such projects off the ground. It would be an education to your readers to do such a detailed study and probably pretty troubling to some. Issues such as right of ways, public community rights (and/or objections) along with environmental rules and regulations one would presume are significantly different in China. This is probably due to differences in Central Government Control (China) vs public participation control in the USA. Then again, maybe you are one of those that believes big government knows more and damn those little people if they don’t want to pay more taxes or give up their land.
