You are correct, because it involves spending other people's money. That's their favorite activity.
Completely untrue. It's been categorically, indisputably established by inarguable scientific methods that the number-one most favorite liberal activity is fantasizing about having sex with Jane Fonda. The second is plotting the ruin of our young by means of secular-humanist mind control. Spending other people's money only comes a weak third.

So you would rather keep the unemployment extensions, food stamps until 10 years from now we could return to the McMansion economy that was a model of economic brilliance that had plenty of private sector participation? Spending on infrastructure is the last thing I would complain about. Maybe we could do a several trillion dollar nation building exercise in Iran by then too. There is always money for that.
This is a no brainer that has been heavily lobbied against by the auto and oil industries, much to the disadvantage of americans. Hmmm, maybe the insane amount of money that we subsidize these hugely profitable businesses with could go towards HSR, a more environmentally friendly and job creating option? Hmmm
Don't forget insurance and finance. There are no train ticket loans or rider insurance.
I don't know if there is an ROI or a loss on it. The only thing I know for sure is Americans always assume auto and air infrastructure are free and that only rail costs money. They only think the true cost is their car expenses and that traffic signal faeries take care of it all .
I do know that being a fiscal conservative doesn't mean one refrains from spending ANY money at all.
