China to Help Build Las Vegas-to-Los Angeles High-Speed Railway

[CrusaderFrank]

We need a rail from LAX to LAS like we need more failing Democrat public schools

ok; here is my two-cents worth and i raise you another cent; why not advance the science of upgrading railroads in a manner analoguous to our inter-State freeway system that even handle traffic while under construction?

You do realize the traffic congestion we have right now. Think thousands of those shipping containers that will be clogging our roads and freeways on a daily basis. Not sure what kind of upgrades during construction you are talking about.

This high speed railway will be an expensive boondoggle which will dump American dollars into Chinese hand. And the taxpayers will be expected to subsidize it. And no one is going to use it, because most people have cars in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and it will never be cheaper than a tankful of gas to get a train ticket.

and this rail line has already been defeated a few years back at one of the elections,most people stating when they go to Vegas they would rather drive for various reasons so said train wasnt wanted...but here we are like it or not.....

Diane Feinstein's husband got a billion dollar contract to build high speed rail:

Blog: Dianne Feinstein's husband wins near-billion dollar California 'high speed rail' contract

These projects are welfare for the rich and corrupt and well connected -- in other words, graft.

that fucker made out on the selling of the Post Offices here in Cali too......

It's funded by Chinese which will take most of the profits. That's sad isn't it.

At least china will do it as congress has no interest in America's infrastructure



A unit of CCRC, China's largest train maker, has signed a deal to help build a high-speed bullet train railway linking Las Vegas and Los Angeles.


CRRC also last week broke ground on a factory in the U.S. that will manufacture trains for Boston's subway system as part of a $556 million deal that China CNR, now part of CRRC, won almost a year ago.

I can only assume you mean that the government is funding this.

Correct ?

the train aint wanted...just the way it is...

Oh goody! Railroads in America built with Chinese trains.

Anything to screw an American out of a job. Just like the new Chinese fabricated San Francisco Bay bridge that cost millions in over cost because of screwed up Chinese manufacturing.

Correct ?

why not? in my opinion, we should be submitting rfp for Pareto Optimal solutions from academia and using socialism to leverage those research and development costs.

I never said one way or the other.

"Using socialism" ? Just what does that mean ?

It will be American jobs not Chinese citizens working on this HSR. Chinese will be investing their money and will benefit most of the profit.
This is the problem I do not understand. We blocked this project bc of anti HSR and other measures.... I think it was led by Kashkari who lost to governor Brown from last election.... BUT we are letting foreigners built it so they can harvest the profit.

Maybe if you read the LINK. It might enlightened you before making such comments.
This is the main reason and only reason this project came to light again because foreigners are investing. Not tax payers because that was block 2 years ago.

I didn't make any comments. I asked questions.

The link provides minimal information.

100 million initial capital for a train line. Really ? That's just some seed money.

I want to know the funding plans.

I know that. Americans will get the construction jobs. But the equipment will be made in China. We used to provide well paying jobs fabricating steel sections for bridges and other constructions. Now those people are working at lower paid jobs while that work is done overseas and imported.

The American worker is relegated to lower skilled lower paying jobs for the benefit of the owner class while our tax dollars are spent enriching foreign workers.

Maybe the workers should join the owner class.

Whatcha think ?

Congress has no legitimate power to spend monies on trains/railway systems not DIRECTLY related to US Postal or Military needs.
