For what Grifty spent - in 5 weeks - incentivising the Iranians to put up a toll booth at Hormuz, we could have connected LA to San Francisco with the kind of rail service which litters China, Japan and Western Europe?Beekeeper » 08 Apr 2026, 5:33 pm » wrote: ↑ 2008. Taxpayers said $33 BILLION. Today, NO TRAIN, NO RIDERS, NO/LITTLE track.... and total cost NOW over $126 BILLION!!
A **** HOLE IN THE GROUND THEY'VE POURED MONEY INTO and it's ALL being exposed for the WASTE, FRAUD, GRAFT and ABUSE it is!!
Hell, the ARTIMUS project cost was ~$4 BILLION and it's gone to the MOON and nearly back!!
In a 60 Minutes report on CBS News, officials said they now believe the rail line linking Los Angeles and San Francisco could ultimately cost about $126 billion, roughly triple the original price tag approved by voters in 2008, when the California High-Speed Rail Authority estimated it would cost $45 billion.Politicians, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, have stated that voters initially approved $33 billion for the project.
State officials say the earliest projected opening for the first phase, running from Kern County to Merced, has slipped to 2033, as funding gaps, construction delays and ongoing political battles continue to threaten the project’s future.
Last year, the Trump administration pulled $4 million in federal funding from the rail effort. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy dismissed the project as “a ridiculous train to nowhere.
