For the first time in years, California Republicans got a thumbs-up from the White House. The Trump Administration agreed to put Obama\u2019s $650 million grant on hold. That\u2019s good news for taxpayers, bad news for big-spending leftists.<\/p>\nRUSH: You know, California Republicans might no longer be in the caboose.<\/p>\n
Last month, the entire California Republican Congressional delegation made tracks to President Trump\u2019s new Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao. They asked her to put the brakes on a $650 million federal grant Obama had approved to supposedly upgrade Caltrain. That\u2019s a commuter railway that runs through Silicon Valley and through Nancy Pelosi\u2019s district.<\/p>\n
Caltrain was gonna share tracks with a new high-speed bullet train that Governor “Moonbeam” had rammed down taxpayer\u2019s throats at a cost of $68 billion. That project, which is supposed to connect L.A and San Francisco, is already four billion over budget and seven years behind schedule.<\/p>\n
Republicans asked for a full audit of the grant money. They want to make sure none of the funding finds a \u201cback-door\u201d into Gov. Moonbeam\u2019s boondoggle bullet train.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re beside themselves. High-tech big-shots in Silicon Valley and the state\u2019s elected Democrats want the money, and they want it now. These same high-tech leaders did nothing but slam Trump during the campaign, and yet here they are begging him for money when they\u2019ve got more money than anybody else in the world.<\/p>\n
But now Caltrain has run into the Trump train and their little choo-choo is derailed, folks. You gotta love it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
