Why doesn't Bobby Jindal and the Republicans like the Maglev?

Maglev to support transportation between LA Airport and Las Vegas? Seems to serve one purpose only...Harry Reid and Las Vegas.

Jindal thinks telling the united states of america the actuality approximately our Debt is "stupid" and we ought to consistently study from Obama are conceal it and act like its no longer there. nicely Jindal wont be there in 2016 and Obama would be impeached for including yet another 6 trillion to the Debt. we pick greater Scot Walkers

I have no problem with a maglev. I have a problem with the government putting a gun in my face, stealing my money, and forcing me to pay for it. I have no problem with sex, I have a problem with somebody putting a gun in my face and forcing me to perform those acts. Can you really see no difference? Do you really not care that it is your money that you earned that somebody else steals by force to use for their own purposes?

If you believe in maglev, then you are perfectly free to pay for it, nobody is stopping you.

I don't think it's spending we need right now. I'd have to see a breakdown of how many actual jobs it would create before I made a decision. It's still an earmark though and that's the point. Obama says there are no earmarks in a bill stuffed full of them.

For the same reason I don't find new windows for Federal Buildings particularly "stimulating." It's a nice idea, but is it really what we need considering they're trying to convince us we're in a crisis of "epic proportions?"

Trains are GOP code speak for government spending too much money. Problem is, most people like trains and wish we had more. But I guess the base eats it up.

The GOP likes the old fashioned steam trains from 150 years ago that went 20 to 35 mph ( blinding fast in 1860).

They want America to stay in the past and not move into the future.

China has a maglev and it carries passengers at nearly 300 mph. They are living in the 21st century.

When will we? Seems the GOP wants us to all be Amish.

It would not create jobs in Jindal's home state, besides " he has to see a man in Marwar Junction"

Could be cuz it's a pet project that is in reality a waste of money that will never make money.

And, it will not create very many long term jobs...just like all the other junk in the package congress passed.

It would make more sense to run it between LA and San Diego.
