U.S. Falling Behind, Again

The reason you don't care about the big train merger and success of Europe is because you probably live in the United States. 

The United States is falling behind in this century.  Certainly with respect to trains and light rail travel.  But the U.S. is also on the sidelines generally, watching Europe with its infrastructure built for the 21st century and ready to move ahead.  While in the U.S. "infrastructure" is a distant dream.  And most U.S. leaders mean roads and last century infrastructure, so even when it gets funded, we will be moving backwards.
