President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he had canceled $4 billion in federal funding for California’s beleaguered and delayed high-speed rail project — what critics call the “train to nowhere.” More
California’s Bullet Train Given the Coup De Grâce
They feds need to demand receipts for what all that money was spent on. You just know those thieving California fucks were stealing those funds hand over fist. As long as the democrats get their kickbacks, they’re happy to let you steal the taxpayer blind.
Wonder how many summer places in Tahoe that $4 billion bought?
aww shoot! Gavin and his cronies already had that money spent.
There were so many hands in that cookie jar that train never had a chance. Maybe if we can get Chad Bianco in there he’ll investigate it. Fucking thieves, just that plain and simple.
Don’t forget the contractors who had to be in on the scam. Need to be audited with a fine tooth comb.
Yeah Tahoe profited big time.
Bet the Pelosi’s made a few extra millions off the project.
A special prosecutor needs to be appointed to follow where all the billions of federal dollars went!!!!!
Look north and strip the federal money from Sound Transit.
The governor’s trying to give the high-speed rail a reprieve.

Hallelujah! The Choo-Choo to Nowhere is now gone-gone.
I wonder what the depraved leftist CA pols will do with all the land they stole for the CC to N via eminent domain. Camouflaged affordable housing for illegals, perhaps?
Someone needs to take a hard look at Pot Hole Pete’s bank account.
It was never, ever about building the train. It was about taking money from our pockets and putting it into theirs. The train was just the story they sold Californians and Congress.
Watch. Newsom will hire a bunch of illegal Africans and Chinese to work on the… Oh, wait- Is it too Blazing Saddles?
The picture reminds me of the ending scene in High Plains Drifter where Clint Eastwood rides away then completely vanishes in the distance.
I wish the same of Governor Slick-hair of California. Ride the eff out of here, Slick.
In 2008, it seemed like a good idea. Since then it has been terrible in execution. Billions of dollars to build a high speed rail line between two cities (Bakersfield and Fresno) few people want to be in in the first place, and it is not scheduled to be ready to operate for another 5 to 10 years – although probably longer.
This is a prime example of the sunk cost fallacy – we’ve already spent 30 billion, we may as well keep going. But I think ridership estimates are way over-optimistic, and the state will keep dumping money into operating costs in addition to try to finish the project.
I supported this project for many years, but I will admit that I underestimated the ability of the California state government to screw things up.
Let the caterwauling commence.
