BreitbartCA; While Jerry Brown sells climate change in Paris, the governor’s bullet train has derailed: some Democrats are withdrawing their support.
Assemblywoman Patty Lopez (D-San Fernando) told the Los Angeles Times that she is not alone in her reversal regarding Brown’s pet project; five other Democrats have joined her. Lopez stated that high-speed rail would increase crime and destroy businesses in her mostly Latino, working-class district, adding, “I don’t see any benefit. People are really upset.” read more
you know just how much something sucks when liberal wack jobs drop their support
boondoggle on steroids
Liberals are famous for “fixing” problems that don’t actually exist.
“I’m not happy about the project. I’m elected to represent you, and this project is not right. It’s not ethical. It’s not moral. And it’s a waste of money,”
This pretty much describes EVERY project pushed by a democrat.
People voted for a _HIGH_SPEED_ rail system that connected San Diego-Los Angeles-San Francisco. Because the TSA has made flying a time-consuming exercise in pointless masochism. Nobody wants to show up two hours before a 30 minute flight for that TSA nut sack inspection, just in case the terrorists have hidden a bomb behind your nuts.
What the glorious government decided to build is not only NOT high speed, it also does not directly connect the cities it is supposed to connect.
It looks like a corrupt five year old drew a random squiggle on a map that just happened to connect every crappy town in the Central Valley to the no-longer-high-speed-rail-system that-doesn’t-go-where-it’s-supposed-to.
I’m also pretty sure all the money has been spent on environmental impact studies, too.
There’s too much ‘High’ in that high-speed-rail idea.
And, lady, the benefit goes to the progtards, politicians (I know, redundant) and the labor unions that build it, maintain it, run it, etc.
Better you get back on the plantation, toot sweet.
Windmills, trains. electric cars.
Progressives never cease to believe that their glory years in the early 20th century were based on such fixtures and that bringing them back will return their glory.
“Lopez stated that high-speed rail would increase crime and destroy businesses in her mostly Latino, working-class district.”
Why, does the train come straight outta Compton? I’d love to see her flesh out her thesis.
Prog’s are obsessed with choo choo trains, Gov jim janos the anus forced one on us and they look like they are empty most of the time.
How soon would it be before some inbred person bombs the train, and there goes their one advantage. Besides, how many people are in a hurry to go from Bakersfield to Excremento?
Best news I’ve heard all day! I hope this stupid choo choo train is permanently derailed. This is one of the stupidest ideas I ever heard of!
