Trump Ends $4 Billion in Federal Funding for California’s Bullet ‘Train to Nowhere’
 
Joel B. Pollak17 Jul 20251,052
 
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he had canceled $4 billion in federal funding for California’s beleaguered and delayed high-speed rail project — what critics call the “train to nowhere.”


The project has been plagued for years by cost overruns, logistical problems, and a lack of consumer demand.


A rough timeline of events suggests the rise — and fall — of what was once considered a promising idea:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Remember when Trump wanted $3 billion for a border wall to increase security and democrats shed copious amounts of big teardrops saying it was too much, and the country couldn't afford it?  Now, for a billion more, they support a train in California to nowhere? :shrug:
