Poor Senator Ernst, water girl behind the horses in tRump's parade. CA bullet train [View all]

Ernst, a Republican from Red Oak, calls the bullet train project “infamous,” and says her legislation is vital to ending such cases where federal funds are being wasted on a massive scale.

“My bill will bring about needed accountability and transparency,” Ernst says. “It will allow us to identify train wrecks, like the disastrous California rail project, before they become bottomless pits of taxpayer dollars.”

Way to be obsequious. California still sends more dollars to Washington than they get back. Ask for a show of hands in your senate GOP caucus that can say that.
