It is the worst-managed project I think I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some of the worst. Billions and billions—hundreds of billions—of dollars over budget.
In fact, I read that you could take every single person who was going to
go on the train, provide the finest limousine service in the world to
take them back and forth, and you’d still have hundreds of billions of dollars left over.
Another democrat state run boondoggle.
The train to nowhere.
'Trump to Launch Investigation Into California’s “$130 Billion” High-Speed Rail Disaster Project'

'President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he will launch a comprehensive investigation into California’s beleaguered High-Speed
Rail project.
Trump lambasted the project as “the worst managed project I’ve ever seen,” hinting at what many conservatives have known all along: this boondoggle is nothing but a colossal waste of taxpayer money.
Trump said from the Oval Office on Tuesday:
“One of the things I want to investigate rapidly—because I’ve never seen
anything to this extent—is the train that’s being built between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
It is the worst-managed project I think I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some of the worst. Billions and billions—hundreds of billions—of dollars over budget.
In fact, I read that you could take every single person who was going to
go on the train, provide the finest limousine service in the world to
take them back and forth, and you’d still have hundreds of billions of dollars left over.
It is the worst thing, and we’re going to start an investigation of that because it’s not possible. I built for a living, and I built on time and
on budget. It’s impossible that something could cost that much.
Now it’s not even going to San Francisco, and it’s not going to Los Angeles. They’ve made it much shorter. Now it’s at little places far
away from San Francisco and far away from Los Angeles.
We’re going to start a big investigation on that because I’ve never seen anything like it. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. The worst
overruns there have ever been in the history of our country.”
WATCH:
The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) has attempted to defend
the project’s progress in a post on X, citing the completion of 50 major structures, 60 miles of guideway, and the creation of 14,600 jobs.
Originally greenlit by the voters with the promise of linking Los
Angeles to San Francisco in a modern, efficient bullet train system for
a mere $33 billion with a completion date set for four years ago, the
project has ballooned to an astonishing $128 to $130 billion, with no
clear completion date in sight, according to abc30'
And the left wing Nimrods in California will keep voting for idiots like Newsom over and over again.
They never learn, or seemingly don't care how their tax dollars are being wasted
by the elite who run that shit hole of a state.

How do you think business travellers should get between San
Francisco and Los Angeles?

Interstate 5 is not wide enough, and it dumps poisonous exhaust
into the lungs of republican children. I5 cannot be widenned
without paving over farms. 1 and 101 are in the mountains where
widenning is expensive. So where do these Rolls Royce go?
Airlifted in cargo planes?
Unlike airplanes which take an hour, cars take all day. That is
lot of businessmen wasting days in Rolls Royces.
I understand. You are driven by jealousy to sabotage the
California economy.

Waste is waste.
All of these mismanaged funds add up. Especially over time.

Education. Social media.

And gas every child living along Interstate 5....
