Although it turns out that the proposed bullet train from Los Angeles to San Francisco will not meet the specifications heralded in the proposition when it was presented to taxpayers for approval in 2008, California's Governor Jerry Brown is going ahead with the project... the most expensive public works project in American history.
The project is already 13 years behind schedule and costing billions of dollars more than originally predicted. They said the train would get passengers from L.A. to San Francisco in two hours and forty minutes; but they are now talking four or more hours. Odds are, you'll be able to drive the trip in less time and at a lower cost.
Thank God, they say, that Californian's won't have to pay for it, because the job is being done with federal dollars. Now, who's to blame for that?
