Countries like France and Spain are the size of whoregon, so trains make sense
Regional high speed trains make sense. Portland/Seattle/Van. SD/LA/Bay Area/Sac. Texass Triangle. NE Corridor. Miami/Orlando/Tampa Bay. Some kind of Midwest thing involving Chicago, Detroit, Indy, Cin/Cle/Col. Getting onto a train is relatively hassle free, while going to an airport at least 90 minutes early for an hour flight is a pain in the ass.
A quick hit on Google tells me that the cost per mile to build high speed rail is, at minimum, $154 million and can range up-to $400 million per mile. So a Seattle to Portland line would cost nearly $27 billion at the every low end of the scale. And that's on the low-end of estimates. Makes zero sense.

At least I've said one smart thing.

I'd settle for getting the concord back with expanded service.
Let me know when NASA can do this
Still looks like cg because of how crazy the physics are.
Leftists were giddy a few months ago when that SpaceX rocket exploded. Elon shrugged it off like a boss.
Rooting for less technology and failures in space travel is another recent Democratic development.
What are they doing?
