How many billions have already been spent on this boondoggle?

...

How many billions have already been stolen? Perhaps they got their fill, now they want to shut it down before there’s an audit.

Next money boondoggle for the state: elimination of fossil fuels to be replaced by solar, wind, and fairy dust and unicorn farts

Actually, good to see even a demRat has some common sense. I wonder if this is just another stab at AOC and her crazy plans. You can't have this going and using it as a model for America.

After reading Fred Reed’s China article, California should contract China to create their rail line.

Can you imagine the social justice warrior outrage of California using the Chinese to build their railroads, AGAIN? 😵

I guess all the most important criminals already got their cut up front. Hey, maybe Newsom has actually come up with a better approach to typical government boondoggles. Structure it so that the usual gang of thieves get their cuts during the preliminary stages, then abort the project and save some money for the taxpayers. Everybody wins!

Liberals are some of the stupidest people on the planet. They control most of this country.

There it is, the last thing in eight years I’ll agree with him on.

Are they going to remove the bits they’ve already installed or leave it scaring Mother Nature’s landscape?

The California High Speed Rail Authority did not pass go—they should all go straight to jail.

Then they should be put on work crews cleaning up the environmental mess they created.
