As a taxpayer you really don't.
The estimated cost of construction of the maglev line in Japan is a bit less than 10% of the yearly U.S. military budget. The Northeast Corridor is about 10% longer, so let's round that to 11%. And I would be surprised if that infrastructure would not be used at least partially 100 years after construction.
Keep in mind that the proposal is to buy the technology from the SCMaglev people, which is something IIRC they indicated they were supportive of doing.

It's currently stuck in an indefinitely paused environmental review as far as I can tell, due to no one caring about it I guess
Guess what, I am a taxpayer and you can't tell me what I "really don't" want. Fuck off. Do you think i have come here from the stone age to not know that infrastructure and services cost money?
