Correct.
The issue is never the issue.
The issue is always The Revolution.
Or The Bureaucracy, in this case.

Ha! Someone made $$ on it. At Taxpayers expense

[faithhopecharity]

It’s all about stealing money off the taxpayers

That kind of stuff fascinates me.

Building something and leaving it alone with no records or anything.

Until the illegals start a fire and bring it down like the bums did to the interstate in Atlanta

Cool, more places for dirty needles to accumulate.

My daughter's good friend lives in San Fran. She sat next to a needle on the BART a few weeks ago.

Calling them “Bullet” Trains is not acceptable.

You have to pass a Background Check to buy Ammunition (Bullets) in CA.

I’m still waiting for the Las Vegas Monorail to go all the way to the Airport.

The high speed rail has been/is “started” in the Central Valley by Feinstein’s husband’s construction company with 2-3 billion spent and the flat straight parts graded. I know of no bridges, no overpasses complete, no rails connections anywhere.

So it's a typical liberal scam that the press ignores the details on? Guess it's not a total win for liberals until they find a way to blame Trump.

It reverts back to territorial status. It is “reconstructed” by being broken up into as many as 4 states.

Probably the best solution for the state anyway. Side benefit...it brings us closer to Obama's 57 states.

Friends that don’t know anything about California the funny thing is we already have the beautiful Amtrak streamliner which goes along the coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles and San Diego and it’s one of the more beautiful train rides in the United States and has been there forever 100 years but obviously it’s not a bullet train that’s silly now of course this train line is never ever going to get billed all it is is a giant boondoggle for all the corrupt unions and all the San Francisco politicians keep paying your favorite architects and planners and all those kind of people if you didn’t know California has over 100,000 yes 100,000 in commissions where people get paid $100,000 a year to show up to meetings twice a year

Nice work if you can get it!........ 🙃

And all but hinge to, no fancy track machines, spike machines etc.

They don't use spikes anymore, they use concrete ties with spring clips to hold the rails in place.

Click to see amazing railroad track machines.

On the plus side...at least there is nothing to clean-up.

They already have a marketing campaign in mind: “Come see the poop at 200MPH!”
