The Politician Behind California High Speed Rail Now Says It’s ‘Almost a Crime’

The California high speed rail project, is that graft on Barry Bonds-level steroids, and as Justin Monticello says in the above video, it “will be both the slowest bullet train in the world—and the most expensive. The Rail Authority cut costs by using track mixed with conventional rail, which means the train won’t reach the speeds they promise. Coupled with a sinewy route that winds its way between endpoints, that means it will never go from Los Angeles to San Francisco in the promised 2 hours and 40 minutes. The train, if it ever comes to pass, will also be competing with air travel at a time when a new generation of quiet supersonic planes is about to take flight.”

Liberals just love to piss away mega tax money on rail systems. My city spent over 200 million, a lot of it Federal money, for a 4 MILE trolley loop That cuts through the center of town where we already had tons of bus routes. I can just imagine how F-ed up a huge tax funded project in Calibunglia is going to work out.
