China is going to build a $242 billion (1.5 trillion yuan) high-speed rail link between Beijing and Moscow. The line will cut the journey time from five to ‘two days’, say Chinese authorities.

This is amazing news… and it should have been something America did first..

I long thought that one of the best initiatives President Obama could have done immediately in 2009 was to plan for a comprehensive high speed railway across the nation–a new Interstate system al-la- Eisenhower.. 

It could have changed America. Revolutionized travel.. Ate away early at OPEC margins.. and transformed this into a new American century of jobs and prosperity, and quick travel between small towns and big cities..

Instead we didn’t.
And now soon, you’ll be able to travel from from Beijing to Moscow in 2 days.

We have our chance…
