Trump Takes Back $1 Billion from California; Gavin Newsom Complains: ‘Political Retribution’
« on: February 20, 2019, 02:42:54 pm »
19 Feb 2019

The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it was canceling a federal grant to California worth nearly $1 billion after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the cancelation of the state’s high-speed rail project last week.

Newsom used his “State of the State” address Feb. 12 to cancel the San Francisco-to-Los Angeles project, saying it “would cost too much and, respectfully, would take too long” to complete.

However, he told legislators he wanted to complete the portion of the bullet train under construction in the rural Central Valley, lest the state lose federal dollars granted to California by President Barack Obama as part of the 2009 stimulus: “I am not interested in sending $3.5 billion in federal funding that was allocated to this project back to Donald Trump,” Newsom said.

Dare I ask why the state should get money for a non-existent project?  :thud:

I'll have to research further, but I seem to remembe the punk POTUS obama putting the screws to us in Texas a few times during his dictatorship.

"Willi Green Weeps"


And I wonder how many landowners, forced to sell via imminent domain, sue to get their land back?


The area in question is (or could be) valuable farmland, and/or oil production.

For a measly $1 billion, he won't have to send the guard back to the border.  How can he bellyache about such a fine deal? :silly:

Breeding will tell.

Gavin was Mayor of SF concurrently with Kamala Harris playing at being DA.

"...back to Donald Trump"??

It isn't Donald Trump's money, it belongs to the American Taxpayers.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
