The reason California devised and continues the “high-speed rail” fantasy is because Brown was promised by the Obama administration that every dollar spent would be matched with federal funds. The price goes up and up and as long as the project is active we get Obama money! Woo-Hoo!

I see you don't need a ping to VDH's latest lament regarding his beloved KAL ee FORN ee aaah ...

On any given day, beautiful weather, the Pacific Coast, and the majestic Sierra Nevada are trumped by released felons, $5-a-gallon gas, and a 1970 infrastructure crumbling beneath a crowded 2012 state.

You know, if it weren't for the beautiful weather, the Pacific Coast, and the majestice Sierra Nevada, CA would already be Detroit!

Thank you liberal unconstitutional BIG BAD government! May we have another?

I was studying the Delphi technique community organizing method and came across an example of how it is used. it was the video of a meeting in some town outside San Francisco. The agenda of the meeting was about how to use tax payer traffic dollars to reduce traffic by getting people out of their cars. One of the suggestions was to not fix local roads, to just let them deteriorate, and spend the money on bike lanes and other alternative forms of transportation.

Cuba has about 3% car ownership.
I believe that’s the unofficial target for the leftists.
