Paid for by Joe the taxpayer, Americans. Stimulus and borrowing more, paid for by us for chinese jobs in America.

How long will Obama redistribute the wealth and punish bad, bad America?

Til there’s no wealth left.

We are already there. So en slave us to debt for decades.

Hey, Arnie! How about closing that budget deficit before spending a boatload of money on a new, fancy train. Or, better yet, why not hire AMERICANS do to it?

As long as no public money is involved they can do what ever they want.

If it has to be subsidized, kill it!

Public transportation is for welfare cases and I don’t want to support it!

Let them walk!

Does anyone need more proof that we have been betrayed by Corporate Power and Treasonous politicians? This was totally unimaginable only 20 years ago!

It’s time to burn our homes down and get tax rebate for reconstruction of brand new homes with US construction businesses contracted.

End this Manchurianism of liberal lazy cowards: turn other cheek, resist not evil, bankrupt the whole scheme.

Well, that’s a nice gift in return for more debt and the destruction of what’s left of our pathetic manufacturing base. Thank you, lying, bipartisan traitors. Have fun. Enjoy the ride!

This is simply perverse!

Let us Californians vote on this nonsense again.

Even the fools (fools) who foolishly voted FOR it might understand that (if it absolutely HAS to be designed and build, which it most certainly does NOT)...

Then, it should be designed and build right here in the Golden State.

As an aside, I'll bet that even the illegal aliens are mad at this.

Big win for Chinese industry, big loss for California taxpayers. No one will use these things. No one outside of the gaggle of environmentalists and mass transit nuts who somehow have ended up in decision making positions wants these things.

"You're crazy! Nobody's gonna drive on this 'freeway' when they can take the Red Car for a nickel!"

"Oh, they'll drive. They'll have to.
You see, I bought the Red Car so I could dismantle it!"

WHO is going to pay for it? I thought California is all but bankrupt and they want to start a $40 BILLION project?

Governor Schwarzenegger is to visit China later this year

Can he do us a favor and just stay over there?
