So basically your saying that since we're already wasting money on the NY Subway and every other urban rail system, then why not BLOW another $98 Billion on a bullet train in CA?

Really? Is that supposed to be our motivation? LOL Funny.

You keep forgetting the fact that its 98 Billion $$$ in 2033 $$ and not 2011 $$$....which in that case makes it still feasible....to build....

Another expression of that "can't do" attitude that made us famous. All that "porK" in the 30's...rural electrification, the Golden Gate Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, Hoover Dam, schools, hospitals, courthouses... investments in roads, buildings and infrastruture that still benefits our society and economy 80 years later, all while putting people to work. What a waste that was.

LA's crime rate is at or near a 35 year low. Immigration has stabilized. Time to build.

Never understood why self-described conservatives are afraid to question the wisdom spending trillions of tax dollars on only one mode of transportation.

In other words, your saying yes, lets spend another $98 Billion. No need to say anything else.
