High-speed rail: Biden's folly

Lisa Benson

I haven't posted much lately about the high-speed rail folly. I had to go inside a story in an online trade journal on Biden's transportation grant to find this short paragraph:
The single biggest grant — nearly $202 million — will help eliminate seven rail crossings in California as part of the larger project to build a high-speed rail line in that state. That will reduce traffic delays and help ensure that first responders can get where they need to go.
Later I found that Forbes had a more complete account of the Biden administration's support for this ongoing fiasco.

Alas, I'm not really surprised, though I'm a Democrat and of course voted for Biden. (I never vote for Republicans.)

Randal O'Toole nailed Biden's big mistake during the 2020 campaign: Biden's flawed infrastructure plan.


Unfortunately, future presidential candidate Gavin Newsom has been complicit in this foolishness for years. So has Scott Wiener.
