Protip: thats not the "High Speed Rail" boondoggle.
this is the New Hotness "High Speed Rail boondoggle, which includes stops and spurs to get local governments on board, but it's not even "High Speed" anymore.
this idiotic program has been growing larger, slower, more expensive and more laden with pork each time it comes up for review.
thats why Jerry MoonBeam Brown cut more than NINE BILLION DOLLARS from k-12 schools, community occlleges, inner city youth programs, foodstamps, welfare, public transit, the UC system, elder care programs, homeless shelters etc etc etc.
he wants this to be his "legacy", a slow ass train that nobody rides, rather than municipal public transportation
