If I remember right there are a least 100 or more Federal Programs that get more then a Billion dollers of Aid. "The Catolog of Federal Domestic Assitance lists thousands of programs that get money from the Feds" So why keep picking on Amtrak? Is it because the NEO conservitives hate any thing that is even remotely Communistic? I mean that have a national system of transportation that everyone can afford is too much like welfare(Socialism!). <br />The fact here is that Airline Lobbyists hate Amtrak because many people who have the time when there on vacation would rather Ride the train or take the bus. When someone else is footing the bill such as there company that work for then of course they have to fly. The Airlines lost 23,000,000 people or more to Amtrak and Buses last year. If amtrak was gone they would have a unrestricted monpoly.
