PERFECT!!!! I think this is the best actual example of why many if not most the those that support such projects do so. It's the old.... Would you jump off a bridge/cliff if your friends did syndrome.

Old Europe has bullet trains... so we should too. Forget that many of those nations are on the border of complete bankruptcy and economic failure.

Japan has bullet trains... so we should too. Sure... except the comparisons with America and a heavily over-populated island nation are nil.

Nigeria is hoping to finish their bullet train... so we should too. Maybe we will be just as honest as Nigeria and admit to the projects CORRUPTION ON A MASSIVE SCALE. After all... that is what these big national projects are best at.
