And if you think that the high speed rail from Madison to Milwaukee was profitable in any way there is no arguing with you. Even the democrats admitted that it would not sustain itself nor would it create any additional new business

Then it's a brilliant decision that you guys turned down the money! What do you think about Walker trying to get the money back?

Here's the national map of the rail corridors being built. They haven't erased Wisconsin yet. Poor Minnesota, they're screwed and left hanging after you guys pulled out.

I, on the other hand, am looking forward to being able to hop the train in Louisville and go to and from Chicago. Right now, it's just an hour plane ride on the commuter that comes and goes daily, but there's parking, car rental, getting in and out of O'Hare, etc.
