Most people thing govmt has all the money & they let us have just enough to eat & sleep & pay more taxes. <br /> <br />THe railroads need a fair shake at the tax free bond market, the same as any other mode of transit. Who pays for the airports? Who do you think pays for the highway? I'm sur all the contractors get paid plenty & vote Demopiblican so they can get the next deal. Most states borrow to the hilt to do all these projects, then need big sales/gas tax to pay for it all. <br /> <br />THere's not a railroad that didn't go bankrupt at one time or another & didn't need govmt to get them started or bail them out of trouble. THe limit to the freeway system is how many more lanes can be added to I whatever. Spending on rails will be needed by the states & locals to keep their connection to the national system alive. <br />[/quote]You know, you just might be on to something there.
