The Japanese are still putzing around with trains, while we in America got over that nonsense in the 19th century and have moved on to better things. Perhaps the Japanese have heard of air travel?

Japan’s Central Japan Railway Company has announced that it plans to ... [build] a new train between Tokyo and Nagoya, to be completed by 2027.

The new line, which is estimated to cost about $64 billion, will extend for about 178 miles. The company expects trains running on it to reach speeds up to 310 miles per hour. The line will cut travel time between the two cities by 40 minutes.

It currently takes an hour and a half using trains that run at about 167 miles per hour.

The trains increase their speeds by using magnetic levitation — where friction is reduced because powerful magnets raise the train above the track.

I read somewhere that Japan is required to spend money on infrastructure (roads, trains... etc.). More than other countries. I'll have to look it up when I get home.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."
