19:02Now PlayingIs California America’s model…or warning sign? I’ve heard a lot of explanations for what’s going on in California. This might be the most blunt one yet.
In this clip, Will Swaim walks me through how you wind up with the highest gas taxes in the country and some of the worst roads. How a $33 billion high-speed rail project turns into a $120 billion train that doesn’t go where it was supposed to. And how billions of dollars—billions—can simply disappear into fraud while everyone keeps a straight face.
Some of it sounds unbelievable, but unfortunately, it isn’t. If you think this is just politics as usual, wait until you hear what it actually looks like on the ground for workers, businesses, and taxpayers footing the bill.
Fair warning: this one might raise your blood pressure. It’s hard to ignore.
Watch the clip and decide for yourself.
