For pro-Trump trolls that love to attack CAHSR for its cost. The Iran war has already at MINIMUM cost $29 billion, which is almost the entire cost of the IOS. Funding problems for CAHSR are purely political, not a lack of funds.
EDIT: The new York times article was a live updates page, which I didn't realize, so here is a different article showing the cost.
This isn't even considering how much the huge increase in inflation and gas price has hurt the wallets of Americans. Americans are spending $300 million more on gas PER DAY. That article was from 57 days ago, so since then it's cost people about $17 billion (though gas is even more expensive now than it was then). Imagine if that money went to taxes to maintain infrastructure or to build public rail.
I'm not saying that CAHSR is a perfect project, far from it. It drastically underestimated the cost of building, and has been bogged down. But there is a big difference between fair criticism (talking about funding shortfalls, unrealistic estimates, etc) vs just spamming "guys it's so expensive, guys it's never going to happen, guys the cost is unbelievable". Especially when many people who are in every comment section saying how expensive the $15 billion spent so far has been can be found to be posting continuously about how great Trump is as president. Infrastructure is expensive! So is war. To me, it seems like high spending is the core issue of only one of those.
