This high-speed rail is not Pelosi’s doing. This is all Jerry Brown’s doing. It is Brown’s boondoggle from start to whenever it is finished
I agree. I know this is the stuff of fantasy but I wish there were a way we could make Brown personally responsible for the cost of the rail to nowhere.

It’s the “Flash Train”. It burns up money in a flash.

Is there a stop at Button Willow.....? Actually, no. While it has a giant steer, it has no truck-stop dinosaurs.

At least in the old days people ended up with a Golden Calf. Now it’s just a pile of receipts.

the entire budget converted to salaries, bennies and retirement.
This boondoggle needs billions and billions of federal money.
Rail going from nowhere to nowhere is a critical national priority--and a crisis--and Americans need to unify to support this critical national infrastructure!

The solution is easy. China Joe got Hunter Biden on the board of AMTRAK in 2006. Send the crack-head out west to clean up the mess. He knows his choo-choo trains.

In Detroit the goal was to have the People Mover rail system travel from the southernmost limit of downtown at the Detroit River, north to the end of the city at 8 Mile Road. Thus no congestion from interstates and roads and dangers to drivers from crime all the way. Suburbs begin at 8 Mile.
Today: long ago the dream died and the total area covered is only 2.79 miles in a tiny loop around downtown and out a little and back.

A lot of folks forget that SchwarzenKennedy was for this boondoggle before he soured on it down the road. Jerry Brown just kept the dough flowing altho he claimed to be a people’s gubinor.
