There are big problems with our nation that can been fixed easily, but we keep looking the other way. Currently, there are millions of pounds of pollutants being released into our atmosphere by our cars and freight laden trucks.

If you were not worried about losing your job then you were probably worried about losing your land. Just like a public roadway the interconnected railways will use public and private land. Eminent domain will be used to source the land from its owners, however; the land owners will receive just compensation for their property (Eminent Domain).

The way into the future will be paved with an ever expanding railroad network. Its purpose will be aimed at making the environment cleaner, making it easier to get a job, and cutting our ties from Western countries. These three factors alone will increase the standard of living in America in ways we have not seen in decades. It is time to vote for a change, a change to have railroads brought back to the top of transportation
