California's $100 Billion Train to Nowhere

Every year, California's legislature faces a budget deficit in the $15 - 25 billion range. So, this year the did what any sensible Democrat would do - commit the state to the waste of another $100 billion. 

The State of California was already facing a $19 billion budget deficit, shorted public schools $8 billion, and was set to release imprisoned rapists into “community probation” when the Legislature approved selling $4.6 billion in new state bonds to build 130 miles of railroad track through some of the most uninhabited farm country in Central California.
