Trump administration right to pull federal funds from bullet train

On Wednesday, the  Trump administration revoked $4 billion in federal funds for the California high-speed rail project.

“Federal dollars are not a blank check – they come with a promise to deliver results. After over a decade of failures, [California High Speed Rail Authority’s] mismanagement and incompetence has proven it cannot build its train to nowhere on time or on budget,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy in a statement.  “It’s time for this boondoggle to die.”

Amen to that.
