Lauren Boebert wants DOGE to cut new train line funding

Representative Lauren Boebert has proposed cutting funding for a new train line in Colorado, suggesting that the $1.2 billion allocated for the project should be redirected to other priorities, such as border security. Boebert, a Republican from Colorado, criticized the project as a "boondoggle" and argued that it would primarily benefit wealthy tourists visiting ski resorts. She also humorously suggested using the cryptocurrency Dogecoin to fund the project, highlighting what she perceives as the absurdity of the expenditure. The train line, known as the Front Range Passenger Rail, aims to connect cities along Colorado's Front Range, including Fort Collins, Denver, and Pueblo, and is supported by local leaders and residents who see it as a solution to traffic congestion and a boost to economic development.
