roll a coaster high speed rail

Following the HSR is like watching every move of a basketball being dribbled down the court in a basketball game. While voters balk at the escalating costs, the governor demands that the old technology electric train $98billion cost projections are too high; despite a 2010 expert study that claims actual cost estimate of $212billion. As dictators go, Jerry has no cloths. The logic Jerry must be using is the standardized cost of building an at grade expense of $70million per mile times 700 miles. The disconnect is representative to the dysfunction of bureaucracy which has only produced an unfinished EIR (environmental impact report) to show for the $600million spent on the project.
