Dementia Patient in Chief WATCH – Biden Says 'We Can' Build a Railway from Scranton to NY (www.breitbart.com)

President Joe Biden pledged to build a high-speed railway between Scranton, Pennsylvania, and New York City on Wednesday.

The president made his bold (and likely unrealistic) pronouncement during his post-midterm election press conference on Wednesday when recalling how a congressman in the state of Pennsylvania asked if his infrastructure plan would include a high-speed rail between the two cities.

“We can. First of all, it will make it a lot easier to take a lot of vehicles off the road, and we have more money in the pot now already out there that we voted for than the entire money that we spend on Amtrak, to begin with,” he said.

Exactly how the president would accomplish the monumental task of building a high-speed rail between Scranton and New York City, he did not specify. As noted by Railway News, the state of Pennsylvania has allotted $3.7 million to build Amtrak rail services while the infrastructure still lags behind.

Sure, we can, but is it of any use?

It's like the "high-speed" rail that Ohio wanted to build. People were just wetting themselves about it and I asked "What's the use case? What are you going to use a train with a $50/leg ticket price and an average speed of 35mph for? How will you get around when you get there?"

The answers reminded me of the vaxxies. It was just screeching with no real backing.
