Ahhhhhh.....the Democrat Party needs some more money.

[gibsonguy]

Brings new meaning to the term gravy train. Sheesh what a money sucking fiasco.

[Fhios]

That’s the annual cost increase. Keeps going up a billion or so every year. I sure hope our federal government isn’t investing anything into this.

[Vaquero]

The big dig west!

[dowcaet]

This is what happens when you let a once prosperous state fall into the hands of the Democrats.

[mewzilla]

Money is fungible. Wonder if the train is really gonna get that money, or if the money will be siphoned off for something else, like state pensions...

[blueunicorn6]

Great Flaming Wolf Spiders!!!

Do you know what that works out to per mile?

You start factoring in normal operating costs and this thing will cost just about as much as Nancy Pelosi’s bar tab.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Unexpected.

[Secret Agent Man]

So much better off fixing roads. Everything they build is gonna be wiped out in earthquakes anyway. Make roads. Crap.

[lacrew]

We’re up to $23 million per mile.

Just remember, the same rats who think this is feasible to build a bullet train will tell you its do complex and expensive to build a border wall.

[Nifster]

Surprise surprise surprise

Now that this fiasco has violated the very proposition that started it will the governor kill it? That’s rhetorical cause I know he won’t

[Vendome]

Wow! That was unexpected.....

[Bubba_Leroy]

It doesn’t matter what it costs. It is just OPM (Other People’s Money).

[CIB-173RDABN]

This is just a wealth distribution plan. From California taxpayers to the Democrats and their friends.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Why is the train going through the Central Valley? Wouldn't it make more economic sense to straddle the 101? Well, making out economic sense obviously is not the point.

I'm just wondering who in LA wants to take a high speed train to Bakersfield? I mean, do any of the beautiful people of SF or LA actually know anyone in Bakersfield?

[ThePatriotsFlag]

We should not stand in their way, nor should those of us outside California that will never ride on it fund it.

[canuck_conservative]

Didn’t the entire Apollo Program cost “only” $50 billion??

And that included six landings on the Moon

[lowbridge]

“officials said they hope to recover the newly announced costs later.”

Yeah, that’ll happen.

[catnipman]

pretty soon the estimate will be back up to the original 98 billion before it was lowered by artificial political fiat in order to make the project seem more palatable.
