What annoys the living daylights out of me, but is typical of this administration, is whether or not you agree that Gunn was doing a decent job or not, the Bush administration effectively had him fired with absolutely no plan as to what to do next..... sounds vaguely like the administration's Iraq plan. Even if you believe that Gunn was not doing his job, that is still no excuse for the administration to not have a plan in place other than wishful thinking. <br /> <br />Furthermore, as the point was made earlier, regardless of Gunn's philosophical beliefs on maintaining Amtrak as a single transportation system, he did make major financial reforms, increased passenger ridership and did a good deal to return the railroad to a state of good repair considering the funding that he had to work with. That is quite an accomplishment considering that the Bush administration had no intention of being satisfied with his job performance short of the totally unrealistic goal of making Amtrak self-sufficient or putting everything in "mothballs" and museums.
