I do not foresee any possibility of the CHSRA RoundaboutRail megaproject being stopped by a voter uprising. The supermajority lock enjoyed by the Democratic Party means that money can be raised for this thing no matter how much it costs.
The first bids should be quite interesting as the spin-doctors would of course want them to come in artificially low to grease wheels, so to speak. They will have to figure out a way such that a loss-leader contractor will be make whole later on for losses. For instance, in the case of a foreign bidder, the home government simply offsets the losses.
Personally I hope the contractors also read the newspaper and realize the party machine is prepared to drop $200billion on Jerry's Legacy if they are forced to. Go for the gold plate.
