Have you not heard that the high speed rail will create jobs? Jerry Brown says so. He is smarter than you and I. Everything will be OK. Trust Jerry. /s
Governor Brown wants to spend at least 90 billion dollars on a concept demonstration project. This project, like most concept demonstrations, will generate no income.
Then after billions more to correct the problems identified in the concept demonstration Governor Brown's successors will ask for trillions to build the actual high speed rail route.
And please remember, my estimates are optimist ones.
