Newsom’s Boondoggle: $126 Billion and Counting: CA Admits It Can’t Finish High-Speed Rail Project

Coming from Gavin Newsom's California, this is the least surprising news ever.

JUST IN: California Transportation Sec. reveals the money to complete high-speed rail is “not there today,” with the project now estimated to cost about $126 billion — nearly 4x the original budget.

Really great fiscal management going on there. Let's give Newsom the Presidency so he can bankrupt the whole country next!

That's what happens when Socialists are in charge.

Construction started in 2013 (13 year ago) and over $18 billion in public funds has been spent despite not a single mile of track being laid, for those keeping track at home 🗣 https://t.co/4XTgqE2ZlY
