[Attention Surplus Disorder]

The true Visionaries on California’s High-Speed Rail never expected it to be completed, and never expected it to remotely pay for its build costs and maintenance costs. It was envisioned as a boondoggle project to generate at least six times its construction estimates with all the prerequisite grips levels, and frankly, it appears on track (no pun intended) to achieve that end. It was perfectly obvious that the system would never work, the moment it was conceived.

It was perfectly obvious that the system would never work, the moment it was conceived.

And Wisconsin lefties mocked Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker when he turned down "free" fed money for a high speed rail from Madison to Milwaukee.
