In an ideal world, yes, we should build our own trains, but personally I think that's putting the cart before the horse. Let's get at least one portion of the track laid and functional before we start imposing more requirements. We can't support an American train building industry without tracks to put those trains. Any investment in infrastructure increases the likelihood that others build on that infrastructure.
