THE SCAM THAT WOULDN'T DIE

I want it to go through, because it WILL be a failure. Then we have a billions and billions and billions of dollars told-ya-so trump card.

Let's see.

Caltrain is near bankruptcy, dependent on taxes.

We pay tax money for B.A.R.T., but do not have a station for the system.

There are planned extensions for B.A.R.T. to locations that do not pay into the system.

If Caltrain and B.A.R.T. are not paying their way, what hope does a taxpayer supported system have?

The cost estimates for high speed rail risen past the speed of reality.

I want to commend Gennady's well-researched, well-presented and impartial article. Good information on a vitally important subject. (Just choose carefully between "like" and "as," as in the adverbial—not adjectival—usage "like in the assembly".)
