California's high-speed train project is in shambles.

A lot of farmers were hurt by this boondoggle.

They owned prime property in California's bread basket,

which feeds millions of us.

The state grabbed their land using eminent domain

and promised to pay market value.

But the farmers did not get a single penny,

and worse, they had to pay for the enormous damage

the contractors did to their property.

The Los Angeles Times says that California authorities

returned to these farmers hundreds of times

to get more land than they originally took.

That's because they issued construction contracts

before the design was finished.

So they had no idea how much land they were going to need.

They made it up as they went along.

Not only were farmers stiffed, it turns out that the high-speed train,

Obama and Jerry Brown promised, won't even be high-speed

if it's ever even finished.

It's already billions in the red.

It'll never attract enough writers to be profitable.

So they have all this misery for the global warming hooks.
