Once again, taxpayers are being put on the hook for an impractical, expensive, government-funded passenger railroad scheme.
In this instance, it’s a “bullet train” stretching from Southern to Northern California.
The train would be funded by a combination of federal and state money — meaning that all U.S. taxpayers, not only those in California, will have to foot the bill.
And what a bill it is!
Originally, the high-speed rail was supposed to cost “only” about $34 billion.
