Joe Biden botched his big announcement about rail investment on Friday, declaring that the federal government would spend 'over a billion, three hundred million, trillion, three hundred million dollars'.
The president was in Las Vegas, unveiling $8.2 billion in new federal funding for 10 major passenger rail projects across the country. Among them is a new line from the Nevada city to Los Angeles, which when completed - potentially as soon as 2028 - can carry over 11 million passengers a year, powered entirely by renewable energy.
Biden mocked his predecessor for repeatedly promising Infrastructure Week, but failing to deliver.
'Trump just talks the talk. We walk the walk,' said Biden, speaking at a hall for unionized carpenters.
'He likes to say America is a failing nation. Frankly, he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. I see shovels in the ground, cranes in the sky. People hard at work rebuilding America together.'
But he stumbled over the cost of the project, tripping over the millions and billions in his speech.
He also repeated his oft-told story about how frequently he traveled on Amtrak.
Biden spent years commuting between his Delaware home and Washington DC, and told how a member of the train crew told him he had read that Biden reached the million-mile mark on Air Force Two.
But, the employee, Angelo Negri, said, they knew he had actually traveled further on Amtrak.
Biden told the crowd: 'He said, 'Big deal, Joey.' He said, 'We just had a retirement dinner in Newark, New Jersey… You know how many miles you've ridden?'
'I said, 'No, Ang.'
'And he said, '1,000,327 miles. I don't hear any more about the Air Force.'
'Well, guys, I — I'm a rail guy, not a joke.'

Why are leftists obsessed with building trains?
It must be easy well worked out vehicles for graft.
TO CONTROL HOW WE GO PLACES.
Imagine the s#!t storm from the media if this had been Trump saying this!
The moment he said ‘No joke,’ you knew everything he said to that point was exactly that.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he can’t find his way to the Oval Office without help.
Can’t the GOP controlled House stop this since they control the money?
All the things the left ever said about President Reagan’s faculties are manifest in Joe Biden.
Nazi Germany used trains. It didn’t end well for millions of people.
Does he always read off a teleprompter?
Because “mass transportation” removes the freedoms of automobiles and Eisenhower’s highway system....
Another wise policy from the guy who can’t count to four or tie his own shoes!
“Why are the leftists obsessed with trains?
Trains are a good way to haul us into the camps so they need more of them.
Exactly when will California’s high speed rail have just the first section completed? Inquiring minds and Taxpayers want to know!
The LA to Vegas Bullet Train has been a Democrat scam for 30 years. It was a slush fund for friends of Harry Reid, like Sig Rogich. There is absolutely no way there will be 11 million riders a year. I was involved with people who knew a lot about it years ago. Giant money pit.
Why are leftists obsessed with building trains?
Any contractor who lands a government contract has to be unionized.
