Ezra Jennings on railroads

Jennings said, "I saw an article saying that high-speed rail doesn't pay for itself, and therefore we shouldn't build it. That's not the point. The point is that rail, along with other things, like public education, is a public good, and we should pay for them because they are public goods."

Jennings continued, "Do you really want to live in a world where the only things that exist are the things that pay for themselves?"
