[quote user="Dragoman"] Can we agree, then, that everybody either subsidizes or is subsidized, to some degree? And, wasn't the point that started these threads the old and oft-discussed issue -- that every form of infrastructure is subsidized in some form or another, so why shouldn't passenger rail be also? <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote]   Yes that was the point of wondering if trucks pay their fair share of road wear.  If they do not, then it looks like they are being subsidized.   And yes it is true that the point of looking for subsidies under every rock is to build a case that, since subsidies are everywhere, then it justifies subsidizing passenger rail. HOWEVER:  Subsidies are not as common as passenger rail advocates want us to believe.  They exaggerate the number of subsidies in order to bolster their case for susbsidizing passenger rail.
