And the airlone subsidies were wrong too. We have become too reliant on this concept that we should have fast transportation between every where all the time at a low cost. well guess what? Everything costs something, adn we still pay for the ticket. We just pay for it in our taxes instead. I do not find it palatable philosophically to be getting my plane ticket cheaper because Bill Gates' tax return is subsidizing it. The idea of interstate systems and such are antiquated, FDR WPA style projects. This era is over. Boston's big dig promises to be the last public works project of a conventional nature to be built in the USA. (It probably still won't be finished a decade from now.) Alameda Corridor is an example of a project model that could be successfully expanded.... a project which is based soundly on free market principles, not on socialized federal construction. Well, regardless....even if you and i don't agree on this, I CAN make you one garauntee... you may not like it, but the solution you would like to see will not happen as long as Amtrak exists. There is no chance that Amtrak can morph into anything resembling a professional system of the caliber you wi***o see. A new, from the ground up organization, designed to do those things? Yes, that could work. But it probably will not happend, and if by chance it did, it will not be a Federalised organization. That era is over.
