130 mile track in the central valley, what is this train connecting?
“Bullet train” - What a crock!

I was under the impression CA had shelved this dumb idea. Apparently the money offered was just too much of a magnet. Of course it won’t be anywhere near what will be needed to finish the “project”, but by that time who will care. We can only hope the “big one” happens to help in the decision process.
Ghost train. Like China’s empty cities.
Translation: The money that was to be set aside for this exercise in futility, raised by borrowing and/or promises, is now to be diverted to fund other more urgent “needs” as determined by the bunch of squirrels in Sacramento, who depend on the nuts found on the California coast for their sustenance and inspiration.
Here in Florida, then Gov Charlie Christ welcomed President Obama with a warm embrace when he came to 'give' us Floridians a bullet (train) from Orlando to Tampa. Now Charlie is not only ex-governor, he is ex-GOP and chasing ambulances for a local law firm, Morgan&Morgan, while contemplating another run as a Democrat. New Governor Rick Scott bulleted the "Bullet Train" as soon as he got into office for the same reason the NJ Gov. Christie killed that added Hudson River ARC Tunnel, the continuing costs would far out-weigh the 'free' government money.
An interesting thought for now, imagine if that Hudson ARC was still in progress at two years when Sandy shows up? What ifs are always difficult, but NJ is probably quite happy not to be facing that bill on top of all of the other expenses going on right now! Another demonstration of potential consequences to 'free' government hand-outs!
