Charlie: <br /> <br />I would say I am definitely in the "anti-Amtrak" crowd. Please not I am NOT anti-passenger rail. <br /> <br />However, I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone who is an "anti-Amtrak" or Amtrak critic that will agree with bailing out United, or ANY industry. <br /> <br />Most Amtrak critics are free-marketers, such as myself, and find ANY bailout abhorrent. It is not the job of the government to reward failure. <br /> <br />So two wrongs do not make a right... do not subsidize United operations. And likewise, do not subsidize Amtrak ops... at least not at a federal level. If your local state(s) want to, that's an entirely different matter. <br /> <br />Alexander Craghead <br />Oregon <br />"Live by the market, die by the market."
