I definitely thank Florida for turning down the funds, but didn't they have a good reason for turning the funds down? I believe that over and above the stimulus funds, Florida couldn't afford the additional costs of building the infrastructure and/or actually running the trains.

And if Florida can't afford the investment and running costs, can Michigan?

And why does fixing a curve have to cost 7-point-something freaking million dollars? does that include a new bridge or two or a few miles of gold spikes or whatever?
