It's a tragic loss but hopefully this makes more Americans wake up and demand that Washington invest more money in our crumbling infrastructure instead of world police missions. A significant number of our bridges, highways, and rails are in need of replacement. I believe the ASCE rated US infrastructure a D+ which is terrible. Sad that people have to die before anything gets done.
Sadly, Democrats blow Trillions on failed programs like Obamacare when they could be using that money to invest in US infrastructure.
The jury is still out on the ACA but it hasn't failed yet. Most certainly "Trillions" have not been "blown" yet. Are you counting the hypothetical losses "calculated" by right-wing blogs over the next 50 years or something? The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said ACA is accretive, meaning it would save billions of dollars over 10 years. Of course, these forecasts are often very wrong due to assumptions, but my point is that no one credible has said "trillions" could be "blown". Mr. Clinton, on the other hand, may be "blown" if he goes back to the White House.

Railroads are not public infrastructure. They are privately owned I believe. That is why passenger trains don't have priority on the lines. Freight pays the bills.
