The high speed rail project had been in the works long before Obama. I believe Gray Davis was governor in 1996 when the idea first appeared but it wasn't until 2008 that it got started.

Yep, YOU sure can. LOL, I make it a policy to stay out of that state if I have any choice. After living in the central valley for over 50 years, you can have it. It is a shame that such a beautiful state has been ruined by the progs.

All true. There is a funny satire going around for years now as to how Noah would never have been allowed to build an ark in this regulatory environment.
The people in central CA laugh about this boondogle all the time.Newsom has had 16 years to build a bullet train--, has spent billions, and not a single piece of track has yet been laid.
Without any heavy equipment or other modern inventions, Americans laid over 1,700 miles of the transcontinental railroad and had it operational in six years in the mid 19th Century.
So Newsom's lawsuit against Trump for canceling federal funding for the railroad is a bit silly especially when it is based on Trump playing petty politics and vindictiveness which is absurd on the face of it.
The original plan was for 800 miles of a high speed train. That has been reduced to 171 miles and only 57 miles of work preparing the ground to lay track has been done with massive cost overruns. How much money does Newsom expect us to throw after bad?
The amount currently scheduled that is now pulled is $4 billion. As long as the GOP is in the White House there won't be any more wasted on that mismanaged project.
Why doesn't Newsom just use some of the mega billions he is spending on illegal migrants to pay for his train?

I can't recall who the CA gov was, but some years ago there were problems with a freeway in Sacramento and the new bay bridge. He found a contractor that did both jobs under budget and before the contracted time. It was one of the biggest successes in gov't I've ever seen. Limited for sure, but I wish we could get cooperation like that more often.

To be fair, when the government says something people either go along, or get a 9mm bullet to the back of their head. No obstructions at all that’s why China is building empty cities.
