Obama Calling For $53B For High Speed Rail

Antisyzygy writes "President Obama is calling for $53B to be appropriated for the construction of high-speed rail in the United States over the next 6 years. Assuming Congress approves this plan, the funding would be spent on developing and/or improving trains that travel at approximately 250 miles/hour, as well as spent on connecting existing rail lines to new developed high speed lines."

I propose a new term: recovery theater - things done to give the appearance of recovery or helping it, while they have no effect or a negative effect.
