California has spent billions of taxpayer dollars (state and federal) on high-speed rail projects, none of which are anywhere near complete (or have been abandoned). But the projects being proved wildly expensive to the point of being unfeasible haven’t stopped the “dream” from going national:

The Transportation Secretary in a president’s cabinet is currently paid slightly over $219,000 a year, and taxpayers are getting their money’s worth, because, with Vox’s help, Buttigieg is an idea machine:
Gen Z is dreaming big. It's time we all did the same.https://t.co/UqEpjsZ1Lv

Anybody want to ask Pete what the projected cost of all that would be? Whatever the answer is, at the very least triple it:
Are we gunna pour billions into that scheme like California did with its “high speed rail?” ??

Buttigieg’s “dream” would require trillions.
@SecretaryPete Will this be as great as CA's hi-speed train from no where to no where else? You know, massively over budget and no riders. How's that trolley doing in South Bend?

Perhaps Democrats look at $30 trillion in debt and figure what’s the difference if it’s $40 trillion.
Every member of Gen Z I know wants Trump’s economy back. They entered the workforce in it, and want low gas prices, rising wages & a future. Cute meme tho. https://t.co/hZr9cvAIxv

They do have their “priorities.”
