Come on now. Providing jobs for folks is one of jer browns many accomplishments. And I'm sure there's no good old boy activity occurring on the project.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the project itself was a slush fund for unions and illegals.

Nah, too direct.
Unless you meant illegal “bonuses”, then we agree :)
But then again, they are so arrogant and blatant, they might not care if it’s in the open.

Its “only” $77 billion.
So what if its a boondoggle, taj mahal, white elephant and cost overrun fiasco?
We still love our bullet train.

The newspaper people have to at least believe that the Democrats are giving them money in order for them to print lies by omission like that.

“.... arrogant and blatant, they might not care if its in the open.” Defines dems most of the time. Except that “mare” in Nashville that was boinking her married body guard. She must have really pushed someone too far to get popped like she did. Even at that, pretty sure she got less of a punishment than one of us would have.

The purpose of the Democrat Party is to elect thieves to public office so that they have access to the public treasuries in order to loot them.

I dont think most Californians need the press to inform them of cost overruns. Its pretty much common knowledge.
To: rktman
I didn’t even know about that one! :)
Sounds hysterical lol

In the 1930’s, Stalin wanted the Moscow subway to be a spectacular showcase of his ‘progressive’ system. This while his people starved and society collapsed. Sounds familiar.

The Moscow Metro got built on time and on budget.
Government isn’t capable of doing any infrastructure project like that on those terms today.

Apparently they padded the boy friends OT hours (like $130,000 worth over time) and took trips/vacations on the city and states dime. Super blatant supposedly.

I only care about the part of that $77 billion that non-Californians pony up through the DOT, EPA, DofAg, etc.
