Trump Just Killed California?s High-Speed Electric Railway Project
 

Full story at Trump Just Killed California's High-Speed Electric Railway Project

Yes our Governor in Florida Rick Scott STOPPED a $1.4 billion dollar payment to Tampa from Obama to build a high-speed rail to Orlando

Republicans DO NOT CARE about the American People... they care about their donors.. they do not want to advance anything except the military

If all republicans dropped dead right now the world would be a better place.. sorry Mom

They need that money to pay for Trump's trips, his sons' business trips, and security for all his family who are spread out

California has like $22 billion in reserves you guys can just pay this yourselves and FUCK trump
California is the only State in the union without ANY republicans in any leadership roles in government and guess what..
it was too long ago they said California was a economic disaster that could never be fixed

Hint: Arnold was the governor...

Now California is a machine.. if I lived in California I would consider secession from the US...

You've got that right:

Trump's Florida trips cost taxpayer money

What kind of retarded logic is that? Killing some project does not equate into backing from infrastructure jobs promise... He did not say that he will do ALL the projects or anything like that. Seriously, where do you get those type of stupid thing twisting reporters?

You don't understand the complexities of our federal & state governments. You just made yourself look stupid in ways you'll never know :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Fucking bitch politicizing the transportation department! So all infrastructure money is going to goto red states. California needs to stop our tax payments to the feds immediately, were subsidizing red states with our surplus tax payments. Leave it to turtle head McConnell to have a corrupt wife that got a government job by corruption.

If Elaine Chao Axes This Bay Area Rail Funding, We?ll Know She?s Politicizing Transportation

I make the trip from Sacramento to LA multiple times a year. They haven't upgraded the freeways between Sac and LA in the past twenty years since I started making the trip. It's horrible. Having this train would be fucking perfect. Too bad.

A lot of the Republican majority in Northern California have been calling for that for years - The Jefferson State - looks like it's spreading statewide :thumbsup

They just leaked the republican plans for the new and improved high speed train that will make america great again

OP your link reads like an op-ed...thats a flag for liberal fake news.

i will wait for more sources to confirm facts. unlike newnik, who automatically discards any media he disagrees with.

:1orglaugh

Payback for voting for Hilary Clinton.

Good! What a waste of money that would have been. We have bridges, highways and dams that need the money more than we need a train that serves a VERY small portion of the state.

You need to protect the fossil fuel producers, gasoline automobile makers and all the other holdouts from the last century.

Yeah for all those millions of votes by illegal aliens. He's on TV spreading his "illegal aliens are evil" propaganda.

As long as Republicans have a group to hate, and legally impact negatively, they are happy. They are cycling through brown immigrants, getting back at Democratic states etc. anti porn is coming down the pike.

Trump signed the anti porn pledge, we'll see if he's worse than Bush, all signs point to yes! Trump likes to be the big obese man making people bend to his will.

only someone in fucking Canada, and jerry fucking brown would think we need high speed rail to fucking Stockton cally. please confine your dumb ass activities to your own country. thanks.. :2 cents:

It would server the entire state. It would being people down to SoCal to spend money. And it would being people from SoCal up to San Fran to play tourists.

Rick Scott has to be neck and neck with Scott Walker for being the most corrupted Goveror in the US. Both should be strung up by their angles and flogged repeatedly then tarred, feathered and run out of town.. Both are absolute scumbags.

It would have been a link from downtown San Francisco, to dowtown LA and Anaheim, linking Sacramento, and a few others. It would be 520 miles, and when finally completed, be over 800 miles long. Not a "very small portion of the state". It would make money by ticket sales and advertising, save people time vs driving, be cheaper than flying, reduce pollution, etc, and employ thousands.

nope, brown wanted to run the fucking thing to stockton

Love it :thumbsup:thumbsup

Good

It would have been a total waste of money. Help the poor instead, right liberals?

Why are you lying dumbass? STFU oh and it looks like it's not necessarily dead, Trumps could include it in his 2017 budget at make it look like it's his idea and probably force them to call it "The Trump Train"

Going electric would also allow the Peninsula line to be the final link in the high-speed rail system that Gov. Jerry Brown wants to stretch from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Matthew Welbes, the agency?s director, told Caltrain officials in a letter that the delay would allow the grant ?to be considered in conjunction? with President Trump?s upcoming budget proposal for fiscal 2017-18.

The delay doesn?t kill the project by itself.


Trump administration deals a big setback to Caltrain - SFGate

This would have been so awesome. But Trump just had to exact revenge on CA for not voting for him. :mad::mad::mad:

Fuck yeah! They were planning on building it and running it at 150 mph 70 feet from my bedroom window.

Do you guys remember all the great infrastructure projects Obama and Peloci built with $800B in funding ??

Can you guys name a single project that made a difference to anyone ??

San Francisco -Bay Bridge.

that was pre obama

You may be right but I also think there is a huge possibility if he does enforce he would look the other way on pornographers who are card carrying MAGA republicans such as myself. It would be consistent. It would seem. He seems to value loyalty above anything else.

Both sides look after their donors first.

True. Poor people will clutch at straws if that's all there is.

So when the politicians wake up to the facts, they might stop the numbers of poorer Americans increasing.

So pay for it with the ticket price and allow the train companies to build the railway.

I am in favour for good transport. If it goes from SF to LA, it would be perfect. Can be very good for the region. More affordable houses that are easier to reach, creating new affordable sub cities, less pollution, no car parking problems and i think a lot of backpackers, low paid job workers and tourist will use it. Perfect for the working man, if it is done right.

California High Speed Rail Faces 50 Percent Cost Overruns - Reason.com


50% cost overruns and train sets made by Chinese? Thank fucking god he's cancelling it.
Time to start fresh and un-fuck the project from a business point of view.

Why can't california pay for it? I thought their economy was great?

Correction : Trump just stopped making the whole country pay for something that only benefits California - projects like this should not be federally funded

I think the article had him at "electric"

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


Can't imagine why the federal government would see the terminal economic failure that is California as being a drain on the federal budget and a poor investment.

The Airline lobbyists in Washington D.C. have kept our country from high speed rail for decades now.

I think we are the only civilized country on Earth that flies within it's own borders.
Everyone else in the world rides on 200 mph trains and only flies when they have to cross an ocean.

It's a disgrace that the Federal and State governments have blocked this since the 1970's because of airline company lobbyists money. :(

And these tiny projects that are mentioned in this thread that are projected to cost millions and even BILLIONS of dollars? What a joke.

We need bullet train service from coast to coast.

I was born and raised in Florida. Driving from Tampa to Orlando takes about an hour.
It's a very short distance on I-4.

How the fuck can some company justify spending 1.4 BILLION in taxpayer money for that?
For that much money, there should be a bullet train from Miami to Orlando to Tampa to Jacksonville.
