...exempt from the most intense environmental legal scrutiny by arguing that California needs to create jobs quickly...

The opposite of the Kenyan's stance on the Keystone pipeline. These Marxists need to get on the same page.

Apparently, some of Moonbeam’s “friends” must be among the payees on this project whereas Barack’s buds make money if the pipeline does not get completed [The Real Buffett (and Soros) Rule].

Is the Fedgov going to bankroll a couple billion in “loans” to set up a train factory or will Moonbeam order them from China?

Okay, let me get this straight. Gov Brown is going to use tax payer money to take the tax payer funded Cal-EPA to court over the tax payer funded high speed train?

"High-speed rail" is code for "union boondoggle."

They are on the same page. Whatever the Marxist dictators want they get. Whatever the proles want is suppressed.

Of course he does. Spend like there’s no tomorrow. It makes him and his Lib supporters feel good and he’s old enough that he’ll be dead when the whole Ponzi Scheme collapses and the next generation has to pick up the pieces.

TRANSLATION:
Guv Moonbeam is smacking down his friends the eco-obstructionists so he can create a unionized construction cluterfunk so he and fellow Dems get more union campaign donations. Plus the Chinese lobbyists exerted pressure (and bribes) because they will build the trains

It would seem that the stick used by greens and dims to derail (pun intended) productive business projects is in danger of being used against this boondoggle. Can’t have that can we. So we’ll just tweak the law a bit to favor us.

IIRC...

- - 100 billion (pre-temporary-downward revision for election season)

- - Out-of-state prime (GE)

- - Off-shore designers (china)

- - Not needed (or wanted), who in his or her right mind would pay $100s to travel between the thriving metropolises of Merced to Bakersfield in twice the time (considering parking, ticketing, security, baggage handling a-la-airlines, and of course, the train will ALWAYS BE LATE, ALWAYS, ALWAYS!

- - The first leg, Merced to Bakersfield is scheduled for 2017, hah, it's 2020 or later. Unions = construction delays, ALWAYS.

- - What the Keynesians fail to realize is that taking 100 B from the productive sector of the California economy is so toxic to the economic climate, that it could be extraordinarily difficult to recover.

- - Net employment will be much less, businesses and taxpayers will out-migrate, and financial chaos is a possibility.

Dear environmentalists: Old Jer knows that not one single passenger will ride this train. It’s all about putting taxpayer money into Democrat’s pockets.

“I hear that train a comin’
It’s rollin’ money to me
My bank account’s gettin’ bigger
Thanks to good old Jerry
California may be broke
But taxpayer money’s buildin’ this rail
The money’s goin’ to Democrats
And Jerry ought to be in jail.”
