Buckscorider Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Governor Moonbeams pet protect is kaput. Billions over budget and years behind schedule. Looks like the new guy is pulling the plug. Didn't AOCs failed new green spiel include doing away with planes because trains? Rickman 1 Crushed barbs save fish, keep that rod bent!

Spigola Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Looks like someone out there made many millions developing another liberal flop. Sort of reminds me of another California fiasco. Can you spell SOLYNDRA. DoOver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimG Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm not sure what makes politicians think they can build great things. Those days ended a long time ago. NY and Nj cant even get a train from nj to NY in one piece and on time. My plain old crappy slow commuter train is late all the time. On time is the exception. Hitler got the trains to arrive on time a lifetime ago with coal powered heaps. DoOver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckscorider Posted February 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 It was a 77 BILLION dollar project. I know they were asking for more federal money to waste. Maybe just focus on fixing San Francisco or put the money into the illegal alien defense fund? Golden State: California's bullet train project, also known as Jerry Brown's Folly, has turned into a fiscal nightmare for the Golden State. Not only are the cost estimates soaring, but the time table has once more been shifted back. Based on current estimates, it may turn out to be the biggest fraud in the history of public works.

hamlet Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 we could get many miles of wall for that train I won't tolerate your intolerance, because I hate hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Jets are better. Ive been on trains AND ive been on jets. Jets are way better. I made a lot of money by using jets. Last fall I used jets to fly between two events running at the same time. If it was trains, I couldnt do that. Might have upset a customer to not see my face. 6 mins ago, hamlet said: we could get many miles of wall for that train Actually we could have just stacked up the money they blew and used that.

gman1253 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Knowing the great state of CT I'm sure they will come up with some $70Billion commutation project (funded by the FEDS since CT is basically broke) to totally screw every taxpayer in the nation not just CT. The CT DOT must be salivating as we speak - just think: A bus line from Greenwich to New Haven on Rt 1 (means adding 1 lane to each side) A second level to the Merritt Parkway A bridge to LI A bullet train to nowhere...

Jetty Jumper Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I am sure Friends of Jerry got to siphon off their fair share of the 77B. I suspect some lost property through emanate domain,it would be interesting to see the data on that. Rickman, DoOver and 55555s 3 To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth.

dena Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 If they would just call it the Speedy train, or a cute name like Acela, I am sure the idea would sell better. Bullet train reminds folks of evil guns, and has a negative connotation. The train needs a catchy new name, and maybe a sing along jingle too.

Ravenar Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Should call it the mono rail. The Simpsons did it along time ago and it didn’t work then either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
