$77 billion is a bargain. California should build that bullet train.

Washington state is taxing $54 billion for 20 miles of light rail in north Seattle. I think they put out a pie-in-the-sky initiative expecting voters to turn it down, then coming up with a “reasonable” version in response.

But the toque-wearing tokers in Seattle voted it in. Now my kids will be paying for it forever.

“Now my kids will be paying for it forever.”

I think your kids can avoid it by moving a couple of counties away. Some of those Puget Sound area light rail lines do make economic sense though, unlike the late Bullet Train.

No we should NOT build the stupid bullet train in California, You cannot even get on the train in LA and go to SF without getting on a bus to Bakersfield and then getting back on another. Also it requires them to chew up a lot of agriculture land for a train nobody wants
