In our Let's Cut Some Spending series, ForAmerica chronicles the many ways Washington wastes YOUR tax dollars - and as you’ll see, the list is endless.

Today’s offering: Biden announces billions for a high speed rail from LA to Vegas!

Yahoo! News reports:

President Joe Biden was in Las Vegas on Friday to discuss funding for the high-speed rail project that would link California and Las Vegas.

The president was in Las Vegas to discuss Tuesday’s announcement that a long-planned high-speed railway project linking Southern California to Las Vegas, had received $3 billion in funding. The newly acquired funds are part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, a news release said Tuesday.

The president, Nevada Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo and members of the congressional delegation met with union members at the Carpenters International Training Center near Harry Reid International Airport.

Air Force One landed at the Las Vegas airport at 12:52 p.m. 13 minutes later, Biden greeted local union members for a few minutes before boarding the presidential limousine and heading towards the scheduled event.

The Hill reports that this project is estimated to cost $8.2 billion.

Like we, taxpayers, just have $8 billion laying around, right? Never mind that $34 trillion in debt.

Like this is even in the Constitution, which lists what the federal government is supposed to do and not do.

Like how many Americans paying for this will never ever use it? When we definitely can't afford it.

As if Joe Biden cares.
