WSJ: Five months after a judge in Sacramento
halted state financing for California's bullet train dead in its tracks,
Democrats are eyeing a plan that would fund the high-speed-rail line
with proceeds from the state's cap-and-trade program on carbon
emissions.
As envisioned, California's
$68 billion bullet-train system, the nation's first, would take
passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco at speeds of more than 200
miles an hour. The project, though, has been beset by planning delays,
fluctuating cost estimates and court challenges that have threatened to
kill or delay it indefinitely.
Seriously, the thing is an energy waster. No one has shown any reasonable data that says otherwise, a completely useless energy waster. Dumbshit California democracts, most of whom have never passed eight grade math, are now using CapnTrade dollars to waste energy, then charge the taxpayer. Meanwhile, they have driven Toyota Corporation out of the state and have created a massive poverty crisis in southern California.
They are simply stupid, no really, too stupid to govern.
I am not saying Republicans out here are much smarter. Like 'Buck' McKeon, a representative from southern Cal somewhere. What idiot parents name their son Buck?
