How many dollars did he suck out of the California economy while flogging this overinflated beast of a project for two years?

It is this big Government can do anything menatality that is burdening future generations of Californians with tax liabilities that will diminish their disposable income resulting in a much lower standard of living the we currently enjoy.
If high speed rail were affordable and did not disrupt the lives of people living close to the corridor that would be one thing. But to uproot people from their homes, impose huge tax burdens on future generations of Californians, and lower the bond rating for those worthwhile projects that have not already been eliminated due to HSR payment obligations is unconscionable.
Yet we have public officials such as Joe Simitian and Rich Gordon lining up at the public trough promoting HSR. They should be held accountable for their fiscally reckless actions. We can not afford HSR. The public was deliberately lied to on the ballot information. It is time to repeal this economic disaster to keep Claifonia from teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
