California’s high-speed rail system is going nowhere fast
23 Replies to “Bullet Not Speeding Very Fast”
This is just normal for leftards running things. Nothing new to see here folks.
California – the brain left the station a long time ago.
I watched a documentary on the replacement of the eastern span of the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, which collapsed due to an earthquake in 1989.
What a horror story. I wouldn’t trust the government to build a dog house.

Talk about brainwashed.
Building a useless railway is not the prime objective.
The left’s embezzling of as much of the funding as possible is the real game.
Code red!
Give it $10 billion of debt-financed government stimulus, stat!
OK, now let’s give it one gigawatt of wind generated energy.
Clear! (thunk)
Two gigawatts. Again. Clear! (thunk)
Another $10 billion of stimulus. Give me three gigawatts. Kick in the solar power!
Again. Clear! (thunk)

Question: If a cheque, written from a Federal Reserve bank and cashed at a Federal Reserve bank, have any chance of bouncing?
Are those funds not guarateed?
What’s the problem California?
Start packing your lunch, you’re going on a train ride real soon!
Like a Californian is going to give up his car and take a train. I just visit once in a while and I know that. The lefties sure can pee away money. What amazes me is that California isn’t bankrupt yet. How does it survive?
Who will be the engineer / design company to figure out how to keep high speed trains on the track in an geographic location prone to so many earthquakes and always waiting on the edge of their seats for the next “Bid One”?
Then again, it is the little people who are cattle-herded on mass transit who will be the victims while the politicians are whisked around in their limousines.

Are you serious about this statement? New to the planet?
Enlighten us, glacierman.
Forget about that what if they build it and the “sweet saint of san adreaus” here’s our prayer?
LOL!!!
Train I ride, sixteen Oxnards long…
You know, I wonder if they can even build one anymore. Do they have the expertise left?
Not counting all the regulations involved.
Oh yeah – Chowchilla to Bakersfield? Now THERE’S a high-volume route, baby!
Why is anybody surprised?
Gov. Jerry Brown was a deluded loon the first time in office. All that he’s showing is that he’s consistently an idiot, and innumerate.
One thing I’m worried about with these high speed trains in North America is the sad cases who want to commit suicide, or the loosers who think it is a joke leave a cast iron rail on the line.
Forget about the trainspotters doing one at 110km let alone 200…
The state of California will default long before 20% of that proposed rail grade survives environmental impact studies (regardless of the actual environmental impact).There’s a good chance the federal government will follow California’s default by a couple of years. The Mexican drug cartels that inherit the remnants of California will likely decide the future of rail transportation in that once prosperous state.
The country is bankrupt and the State of California is bankrupt. They all have been living on a fiat money supply for a very long time.
Enlightened?
Californy is getting exactly what they deserved/voted in. A state with so much natural resources and potential and they have screwed it up so much that a lot whole lot of the born and raised cal folks are leaving in droves. Pity.
If building something in California was seriously going to happen, then environmental groups would be apopleptic with rage, they’re insiders and they know this is about money, not trains.
