It's comical, but also tragic, that you also think the government can put his money to better use. The F-35 program alone is $173 billion over budget.

California simply does not have the political, legal, and governmental infrastructure succeed at megaprojects. Most major cities in the state can't even overcome the legal and policy hurdles for housing development or light rail, and High speed rail is a magnitude more difficult.
