Ahoy, me hearties! In the year o' 2008, the landlubbers o' California were told o' a grand plan fer a high-speed rail line betwixt San Francisco and Los Angeles. The scallywags behind this scheme claimed it would cost a mere $33 billion, with most o' that coin comin' from federal coffers or private purses, as the Los Angeles Times be a-sayin'.But, me mateys, fast forward to the present day and ye won't believe yer ears! The scallywag in charge o' this venture be tellin' the state lawmakers in Sacramento that it'll now cost an additional $100 billion on top o' what was already spent!
