the high speed rail line data point is interesting. are there conditions unique to california that could rationalize this massive gap in cost? if not, and other governments can build affordable rail lines under comparable conditions, why can't the california government emulate those blueprints? aversion to wasting money, rather than lack of compassion, seems like a reasonable objection to high taxes. what governments in your opinion offer the best mix of transparency and/or responsible spending? thanks for sharing.
