Newly elected GOP Governors have planned to kill the High Speed Rail system and kill thousands of jobs in the expense to try to hurt President Obama chances to win re-election in 2012. In comes Sir Richard Branson who announce today in Forbes Magazine that his company The Virgin Group will bid for high speed railway in Florida, something that newly elected and corrupted Governor Rick Scott had planned to kill.
‘I think it’s important for the States’ and Federal government to help support these trains but it’s also important for companies like ours and other investors to be involved, too,’ explains Branson. Aside from Florida, Branson is looking at other areas to invest in high-speed rail.

I don't know why some of our leaders like Chris Christie, John Kasich, and Scott Walker want to keep their heads in the sand but perhaps if Mr. Branson can end up forking up another extra half a billion dollars then maybe they might budge and maybe a Richard Branson may end up saving the American workers especially in that region.
