To get an idea of how fast President Gavin Newsom would bankrupt the United States, consider his high-speed rail boondoggle.

The Daily Mail reports:

It was also supposed to cost just $33billion but Anthony Williams, a member of the state’s high speed rail board, said in a 60 Minutes interview that it will quadruple by the time it’s finished.

‘Today, we estimate with the right optimization just over $125billion. I think $126billion is the current estimate for that,’ Williams said.

‘That’s more funding than Amtrak has received in its history and still leaves a shortfall of roughly $90 billion.’

Other estimates are still higher:

In a press release, the DOT noted ‘the $135 billion projected total cost of the project could buy every San Francisco and LA resident nearly 200 roundtrip flights between the cities.’

Imagine how high the cost would climb if Newsom could print his own money.
