High Speed Rail

Although some high speed rail projects wont always make sense, this country does desperately need high speed rail. It needs high speed rail for both traveling and freight movement. My only critism of this high speed rail map is that it doesn't project far enough into the future nor does it have enough money invested into. The other thing I find peculiar is that the high speed rail going from San Diego to San Francisco that California voters voted approval of, to sell bonds in order to pay for it, is now going to be funded by federal money. As a California tax payer maybe this means less money my state ends up spending that it doesn't have but on the flip side, it's money my federal government spending money it doesn't have. Does this mean the bonds would now go to the longer term goal of having high speed rail from going through Sacramento, San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles. The map showing a train from LA to Las Vegas would be nice if it also had a train going from Las Vegas to Reno and Reno back to Sacramento and/or the Bay Area. In the end, essentially, the one thing I wish America would get off its hands and become more like Europe is in regards to high speed rail.
