“Where the hell did the money go?”
"Where'd the $14 billion go that went into high speed rail project? It's a 'high speed rail,' but there's no rail. There's nothing.
$14B. Whose pocket is that money in?"

@nickshirleyy, I think does a great job exposing how so much of that money's wasted.
I asked this question of
@MattMahanSJ, who's running for governor.
I was like, dude, where'd the $14 billion go? Yeah, that went into that high speed rail project. There was like, no, it's a high speed rail, but there's no rail. There's nothing $14 billion. I'm like, whose pocket is that money in?
Everyone should ask that question of your government, of your elected officials, of your politicians, of your leaders. Where the hell did the money go? And in many cases you'll find that it just went to create wealth for a few people that are cronies or thieves or that stole it, or it was used to create fake jobs that aren't productive.
Meaning no one's making anything, they're just taking money and living off of that money from the government.
And both of those are not what was promised when people pay taxes and the government says it's gonna do a service. We need to hold the government accountable to do the service, and that just doesn't happen.
So I think Nick Shirley holds the government accountable. I think there are dozens of copycats, which I frigging love. And show the crazy sh*t that's going on and ask the tough questions. Run the audits. Treasury in the federal government should be running the audits and figuring out where all the money go."
