Unfriggin believable from a state that voted almost unanimously for zer0bama and his not so camouflaged position to destroy Israel.

what hypocrisy....

So an Austrian will sign off on whether trains can haul Kalifornians based upon if they hauled Jews or not? Can't make this $hit up.

But if America wants true high-speed rail . .

America doesn't want true high-speed rail.

Nations are collective bodies devoid of feelings or emotions such as wants, hopes and sorrows.

It may be true that a sizable number of Americans want "true high-speed rail" for whatever personal reasons, mostly I believe disconnected from economic reality.

But then I'm still wishing for teleportation as in Star Trek. Wanting and wishing will not make it so.

Neither will giving politicians control of billions of California taxpayers' dollars and hoping they will behave themselves, just this once.

The recent vote in the legislature demonstrates that this isn't going to happen.

Hey..how about that flying car. Pretty cool huh?

[CPOSharky]

How about the rail systems that transported Japanese-Americans to concentration camps in WW2?

Too close to home cali-libtards?

“Whereas European and Asian firms have long experience of building dedicated high-speed systems with trains hurtling along at 200 mph or more, what most American firms plan to offer is medium-speed trains running on existing freight tracks” at a theoretical 80 mph between numerous stops...

Your car will be faster. And do these proposals count the massive cost of this land grab? Or the subsidy per passengers per trip costs?

Proving once again that moving back to the 19th Century is a very costly socialist bad idea.

I want the Post office to bring back the Pony Express.

Its author, Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield, a Democrat, specifically highlighted the wartime record of SNCF, which nowadays operates France’s TGV high-speed trains. The French firm expects that the bill will clear all further legislative hurdles, including the sign-off by the normally veto-prone governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

For something that was done over 60 years ago in a foreign country ? this guys a dammed retard,nobody with any damm sense should do any business with California at all

[SZonian]

ANYTHING, and I mean anything that takes the attention of Californians off of the lack of a balanced budget.

LOOK!!! OVER THERE!!! Holocaust trains!

Granted, these assclowns spend more time worrying about what others are doing (typical nanny stater) instead of cleaning up our house.

We’re so screwed.

It can’t come fast enough though.

´Same CEO still at the helm there? And cadres of ageless workers?
