It is not lack of knowing how to build rail that is keeping HSR over budget and never finished. It is lack of will. Largely driven from lack of direct need.

  There is direct need but it isn't obvious until 5 years after it is done.

    That is indirect, pretty much by definition. Directly, there are few if any jobs that are not getting done due to lack of HSR today. Indirectly, people project a ton of benefits to having HSR.

      The direct need is all the people dieing on the highways.
