While I agree in principle, the project is already significantly delayed, over budget and under funded. Adding a requirement to bootstrap a high speed train industry in the u.s. would doom the project which is already on Shakey ground.
We don't want this to turn into an unfinished boondoggle that every oil backed think tank can point to and say HSR won't work in the u.s.
You have it backwards.
Adding a US-made requirement would help the program move forward. Every politician loves to claim that he created X number of US jobs. He can then go and visit the factor and mingle with the factory workers and get their vote.
