[quote user="ericboone"] [quote user="futuremodal"]How exactly was money being "taken from the coffers" of UP and BNSF?  I didn't realize that UP and BNSF were being taxed to pay for the DM&E loan.[/quote]UP and BNSF pay federal taxes, right?  Well, if those taxes are being used to give the DM&E a loan or a reduced interest rate, then UP and BNSF are most definitely being taxed to support their competitor. [/quote]So UP and BNSF pay taxes, but DM&E and others in the same boat don't?  Keep in mind, federal aid to UP and BNSf of late has been in the form of grants, not loans.  I'll bet DM&E has paid taxes to aid it's competitors, huh?C'mon, do you really want to go down this road?All industries pay taxes.  Said taxes go into the general fund for the most part.  It is the feds who decide how that fund is dispersed.  No one individual entity can dictate how their particular tax payments are used.
