“This is not some fanciful, pie-in-the-sky vision of the future. It’s happening now. The problem is, it’s happening elsewhere.” He cited superior high-speed rail travel in countries like China, Japan, France and Spain

OK economics students, it is quiz time. Does demonstrating that trains travel faster in China, Japan and France justify the creation of high-speed train service here?

OK economics students, time for another quiz. If Dave Matthews regularly sells out his concerts and has people waiting to get in, would a critical solution be to upgrade the quality of Bette Midler concerts? Explain under what conditions this makes sense. Can you offer a superior “solution?”
