. High Speed Rail Claim -- 117,000,000 passengers annually – CHRSA (CA High-Speed Rail Authority) predicts. They even paid a consulting firm to come up with those numbers. The high-speed rail people claim 117 million people will ride the system every year. That is over a third of the entire U.S. population. How rational is that? (GOOGLE Martin Engel high Speed Rail. - Web Link - (86 trains/day = averaged out to 3,727 riders on each train – have I make a calculation error?). This is a ridiculous number!

Grounds for a revote. The public didn't know what it was voting for.

It's a scam, and it isn't going to happen.

Wow. Who knew?
Oh yeah, me.
The only way this obviously terrible idea could have penciled-out was with substantial fraud.
