Ed Rendell needs to keep pushing. If people watch this program with an open mind it can help support an active mass transit program that can aid in job creation, reduce the impact on the environment and make America a place that all other countries in the world envy. I wish your program great success in reaching people and educating them on the need for positive improvements in how we live. I am one of those people that drive in my car two hours a day by myself and look at the in-efficacy of all the cars around me transporting one person in each car. I work in the auto industry and truly believe that an optimal transportation system is needed that includes all types of vehicles devices, i.e. fast track trains, trucks, cars, motorcycles, plans, boats, ships integrated on a well designed transportation grid. There are many ideas about how to make good changes in our country instead of taking 700 billion and investing it in banks. Instead, our country would be much better served if we took this money and invested it in our education system and business to implement a national transportation system for the world to copy. By doing this we would put millions of people to work making something good for the environment and reducing traffic jams that cost our country billions every year. This program could be designed and constructed over the next 10 to 15 years employing our educational system by teaching people and business putting people to work. Our country has everything we need to do this except a true leader of people with a vision for the people. In China they have been putting people to work on great public works like the Three Gourge Dam, We did things like that 80 years ago but we took our eye off of somehing very important to everyone. Now we have those same bridges that we built years ago falling into the river and killing the people tht rely on them every day. I am pissed that our leadership in this country has let us down and they should be asshamed of them selves and so should every person in this country for letting this happen to ourselves. Again, I wish you and your program all the success in the world reaching people and teaching them something that is good and needed. Good Luck Matt Gov. Ed Rendell needs to keep pushing.
