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.

This first segment is actually up to $89 million per mile. Even the French high-speed railroads were built for a fraction of that.

"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."

From the article: "The fresh costs are due to trouble acquiring rights of way for the track, . . ."

Won't Pelosi wail, "Don't tell me they're going to eject people from their little piece of the American Dream! Break up families? Think of the children!"?

" . . . the need to build more barriers along the tracks . . "

Won't Pelosi wail, "Barriers don't work! And they're racist!"?

" . . . and other items."

Won't Pelosi say, "I'M one of those other items. Where's my envelope?"
