All Aboard for Oz      
   
   ...Told ya so, California... When the Obama Administration offered Florida $2.5 billion (I think) to develop a high-speed train connecting Orlando and Tampa, then Gov. Rick Scott saw a boondoggle.

   After the "free" money was spent, Florida would have ongoing expenses with no assurance the train would pay for itself. And if the choo-choo project derailed, Uncle Sam wanted his/our money back. Gov. Scott was ridiculed for lack of vision.

   So, California eagerly took the money for a San Francisco/Los Angeles showcase. This week, after months of construction, the state admitted failure. They'll still work on it, so as to keep Uncle's money until Trump is gone.

   Funny thing. This news broke just as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the fresh-woman in Congress, revealed the left's plan to save the planet, while saving America from capitalism: Green New Deal.

AOC

   FDR should see this! She would replace air travel (CO2) with high speed trains (using what fuel?). 

   Okay. We survived without airplanes until the evil Wright Brothers went to Kitty Hawk. We figure, 60 dual tracks 50 miles apart, connecting our northern and southern borders, and about 35 east-west routes, this will make a suitable grid.

   With solar panels on the roof, your slow, electric auto will get you to a fast train in less than an hour. You can still fly all over the world; just take a train to Toronto and go. 

   We wanted to ask AOC, as she is known, if the U.S. Air Force also will be grounded, but an aide said she is hiking a yellow brick road somewhere this weekend, out of touch. 

   Kimberly Strassel, Wall Street Journal, says that Ocasio-Cortez "is making California look sensible." 

   We would list all the socialist ideas that declared presidential candidates are backing, but we're out of breath. Anyway, when the Democrats oust Trump, keep the House and take the Senate in 2020, you'll face the facts soon enough. All aboard!
