California’s high-speed rail project is the biggest waste of taxpayer money in our state’s history. After more than a decade of promises, we have almost nothing to show for it except massive bills and broken dreams.
The numbers tell the whole story. California just promised to throw away one billion dollars every single year until 2045 on this train to nowhere. That’s twenty billion more dollars down the drain while working families struggle to pay their bills.
What do we have after all these years and all this money? Just 119 miles of track under construction out of a planned 800-mile system. They’ve been building since 2015 and we’re nowhere close to having actual working trains that people can ride.
The project was supposed to connect San Francisco to Los Angeles by now. Instead, we have some concrete structures in the middle of farmland that serve absolutely no one. Politicians keep moving the goalposts and changing the plans while the costs keep going up and up.
Real Americans know this is exactly what happens when big government tries to do what private companies should handle. The bureaucrats have created over 15,000 jobs, but those are just more government workers living off our tax dollars instead of productive work.
Meanwhile, our roads are full of potholes and our schools need repairs. But Sacramento would rather spend billions on a fancy train that most Californians will never use. This is the perfect example of liberal priorities gone completely wrong.
Private companies build things faster, cheaper, and better than government every single time. If this rail system made any economic sense, smart business people would have built it already without stealing money from taxpayers.
It’s time to pull the plug on this disaster before it wastes another dime. California families deserve leaders who spend their hard-earned money on things that actually matter, not pie-in-the-sky projects that benefit no one except the politicians and contractors getting rich off this scam.
