California’s high-speed rail disaster just got even more ridiculous. After years of burning through taxpayer money, they’re now begging AI companies to save their failed project. The so-called bullet train has become nothing more than a train wreck of epic proportions.
President Trump is doing exactly what he promised by clawing back $4 billion from this boondoggle. Why should hardworking Americans pay for California’s pipe dreams? This project has been a money pit from day one, and Trump is right to pull the plug.
Now California’s new CEO Ian Choudri thinks he can save this mess by leasing land to data centers. They want to get 30 to 40 percent of their revenue from sources that have nothing to do with trains. This proves the whole project was never about transportation in the first place.
For decades, California politicians promised taxpayers a world-class rail system. Instead, they’ve delivered nothing but cost overruns and broken promises. The state that claims to lead the nation can’t even build a simple train line.
This is what happens when liberals run wild with other people’s money. They start projects they can’t finish and expect the rest of us to bail them out. California’s high-speed rail is the perfect example of government waste run amok.
The fact that they need tech companies to rescue their train project is embarrassing. California spent billions on consultants and studies while real Americans struggle to pay their bills. This whole thing is a slap in the face to taxpayers everywhere.
Trump’s decision to cut funding sends a clear message to wasteful states. If you can’t manage taxpayer dollars responsibly, don’t expect the federal government to keep writing checks. California needs to learn this lesson the hard way.
Maybe it’s time for California to admit this project was a mistake from the start. Instead of chasing more money, they should focus on fixing the real problems facing their state. American taxpayers deserve leaders who spend wisely, not dreamers who waste billions on fantasy projects.
