Running parallel to the southern portion of the 99 is an underused, subsidized Amtrak passenger rail line. Not far away is yet another rail corridor, where the state is plowing up some of its best farmland to build the first link of high-speed rail. That boondoggle's projected price tag has soared from the original $33 billion to somewhere between $60 and $100 billion -- without a single foot of track yet laid.

Remind me why I am so thankful for our Florida Governor, Rick Scott (R), who CORRECTED former Gov Charlie Crist's (R/I/D) grand mistake of taking a bite out of President Obama's poisoned apple of a high-speed rail between Tampa and Orlando! He pointed out that the longterm costs of this were all going to be the taxpayer's responsibility and that was likely to require much increase in taxes to pay for something that was unlikely to pay for itself!

Currently, Californians pay among the highest sales, income and gasoline taxes in the nation. Yet in return, the state's decrepit transportation system in many national surveys rates nearly last. California public school test scores are likewise near the bottom of national rankings.

The takers have turned the 'Golden State' into Fool's Gold (Iron Pyrite) in the space of a couple of generations. Yet their desires spread out from the media and technology centers that remain in California. In the same sense that 'misery loves company', the leftist progressives that have done such wonders in California, want to do the same for the rest of this country!

Remember that Hillary has raised muti-millions from the Californian elite. Show them that we want no part of this dystopia, VOTE TRUMP!

He will implement the "stupid people tax" by defunding sanctuary cities and states.
