A recent expose by the New York Times showed that politicians and the unions that own them are to blame for the Big Apple's deteriorating subway system. For years they've raided transportation funds for pet projects, like failing upstate ski resorts. Beyond New York, a perfect storm of ribbon-cutting fetishizing, environmentalism and envy of other countries has led to high-speed rail mania. Although zippy trains are nifty, they zoom past the fact America has the best rail system — for our needs. In Europe, trucks move goods and trains move people. In America, we do it the other way around.
