Yes, dear readers, it isn’t bad enough that California’s utterly corrupt Democrat political class has already wasted billions of Californians’ dollars on this high-speed rail pipe dream, they’ve also already wasted $3.5 billion federal dollars, and are planning on wasting tens of billions more before the atrocity is completed, if indeed it ever is. Thus far, not an inch of rail has been laid, despite the fact that the “project” has already been technically in progress for a decade, and the only segment for which there is even a firm plan is a 119-mile piece of line that would connect Fresno with Bakersfield. (My bolding.)
OMG!!! The whole transcontinental railroad was completed in six years from 1863 to 1869, with two years involving that little interruption called the Civil War. Not only that, it was done almost entirely with human and a animal muscle and back powder. Time for our PRESIDENT Trump to go in and kill this whole monstrosity.
The biggest factor was the scarcity of lawyers at the time.
