An express train to Vegas? Will it be another bridge to nowhere?

All aboard!

Hold onto you’re garter belts, ladies and gents. Mamma Gov is about to plunge into a risky 6.9 billion dollar gamble when and if the Transportation Department ‘wisely’ squanders more taxpayer money on a train that will go from suburban California to Las Vegas! After all, you hard working Americans will be footing 80% of the bill!

In spite of well considered objections from House Republicans on Capitol Hill, it’s looking likely that this deal will go through. Interestingly, some insiders feel it may act as an escape route for millions of over-taxed Californians as they endeavor to make a mass exodus from the West Coast! (Sort of the opposite of what happened during the California Gold Rush of 1849)!

The first hint that all may not be well, will come after this train begins running and the ticket agents, over on the Coast, realize that the tickets are all one way!
