It didn't get a lot of attention, but last month the White House awarded $3.1 billion to the California High-Speed Rail project. This was supposed to be a bullet train connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles in less than three hours. Instead, its costs keep rising even as the state scales back the plan.
Since 2008, when California voters authorized a $10 billion bond issue for the train, they've been sold a bill of goods.
