Rangerj, I understand your deep concern over Amtrak funding. However, our public debt is in the TRILLIONS of dollars, with more on the way. Private debt in the US is higher than it has ever been in any country at any time. All debt is repaid either by the debtor or some one. But it is repaid. There are lots of swell programs out there screaming for adequate funding. Rangerj, in a nutshell, we are bankrupt; we just don't know it yet. When the big blowout occurs, there won't be any time for Amtrak or money for Headstart or much of anything else. This isn't a Dem or Rep thing...they all have contributed to the public debt because they found they could buy votes. The rest of us have contributed to the p.d. because we found out that electing a certain creature to office resulted in receiving "goodies" from the Gov't.
