[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TheAntiGates [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by SuperChiefFan I understand your point and it makes sense. Still--the amount approved for the purpose of humanitarian aid and the restructuring of a country was a staggering amount. AMTRAK hasn't asked for a third of that to cover both immediate and long-term improvements--and it has battled for it's share of what amounts to bandages for years, certainly long before the Iraq War ever started. Charity starts at home. We should cover the bases on our own turf first and then offer assistance abroad. We're $87B dollars late, but it can still be done.[:)] [/quote] Hey, I agree. I was out on the streets blabbering "Don't invade Iraq" with a passion, but did lil terpitude head listen to me? Of course not, he was too busy stroking the feathers of "good patriotic americans" with his war drums. The amount of taxpayer dollars seeded into the economies of "aligned" nations is staggering, most of which will never produce 1 shed of true benefit to your average american citizen. My opposition to HSR in this forum has been no little secret, but I'd go as far as to say if they could build the thing STRICTLY through roll backs in foreign "investment" aid, I'd be all for it, and the jobs it'd create ould turn this country around. "Sorry Ariel Sharon, we thought we'd lick our own wounds for awhile" etc [/quote] [8D] AntiGates I respect what you're saying. I guess the only route to travel from here is to have you run for the Office of the President. Win the election. Select an intelligent administration to assist you. Perhaps then AMTRAK will have a chance. You've got my vote on the spot if you're willing to support the future of passenger train travel in the United States--and I don't mean the NEC only. [8D]
