High Speed Rail is dead
And thank God we avoided another Democratic National Party boondogle. The majority in California is against it, the thing ran into a wall of regulatory nightmares and lawsuits, and the Cal legislature turned it into a patronage system. Nor did Jim Costa, my rep in Fresno, get an agreement from small states to happily send us billions. So the DC House killed it, saving us all from a nightmare.
In related news, BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is outperforming all those steel rail vehicles that Democrats plastered around LA (LA Times). Now LA county has to decide how to rip out the steel rails and replace them with BRT.

Attaboy, Matt! Just call the high-speed rail project a boondoggle. That's all the rationale needed for Californians to trash the project. Nevermind the jobs it would provide. Nevermind the success of high-speed rail everywhere else in the world. Nevermind that building more highways to move our increasing population will cost more in the long run. The "boondoggle" argument is all we need.
it is deemed an incredible, beautiful, easy and honest video of an good idea. I'm a real enthusiast of one's perform! I'd personally require a chew regarding dessert off of a new sapling any day.
