The Best Time to Buy What You Can't Afford...

....Is When There's Something That You Need
No Matter the Price.


So Long as You Need Jobs, to rebuild confidence in the national economy, and to resume the upward growth of the American way of life, you might as well invest in something that you need, but that there will never be a better time to afford.

The Catch-22 of Mass Transit, outside of such urban centers as New York and Chicago, is that you can't get enough passengers to justify the rail until there's enough rail in place that people can do without cars, but you can't afford enough rail until you have passengers in place to use it.

What This Means Is That once light rail and commuter trains are in place, people build along the tracks. High rises and office buildings, along with retail, and soon you have enough people living and working in place, that the passenger count is no longer an issue.

(After All, This Is What Happens with Roads.)

The Longer We Wait to Build Rail—everywhere throughout the country—the worse and worse the roads get. And no matter how many trains we build, the worse roads will never get better than they will be when the trains begin to run.

We Will Never Be Able to Afford Rail on a balanced budget.

But at a Time When We Need Jobs, and the jobs we need must contribute to tangible investment in America's future, now is the best possible time to start building those tracks.

The Various Components of Energy Independence provide the perfect objectives for our current "stimulus" situation. Jobs put into green energy do treble duty by giving us jobs, reducing our energy dependence, and improving the environment.

It's the Perfect "Win-Win-Win" Situation.

Let's Put This Challenging Opportunity to Good Use. Let's start laying the tracks to American energy independence right now.
