Soooooooo, you support Federal HSR subsidies while citing its Keynesian credentials but also claim to be a Libertarian.
You got some explainin' to do.
>primarily a tourism economy
While I'm not going to contradict this, may I submit these facts for your consideration?
You're the fourth largest exporting state (equal to its population rank - Texas is the number one exporter while being the number two most populated state (Cali is 2:1, Jew York is 3:3)) in the country, what comes after tourism in economic impact is agriculture followed by mining.
>having SOME kind of industry
I mean, so much for that? Especially given that tourism is considered to be an industry on its own. I fail to see how having HSR is going to help, if anything it's going to prop. up construction for the time it's built and employ a couple people afterwards, but at what cost? The only country that operates a HSR without losing a fuckton of dosh on it is Japan and that's because it's privately run (because it just so happens to make economic sense in Japan).
Besides, don't you feel the Feds do enough for the state as it is (NASA, large military presence)?
There are better ways to deal with congestion.
FUCK
