Seems like it is the RR's who are making the hoo-haa for subsidies eveytime I turn around...FHA trustfund raiding type stuff, such as the "pitch" that "if FA $$$ is spent to upgrade the RR's infastructure, (giving ther RR's revenue generating 'plant' taxpayer subsididy), then the "highways,public transit, rushhour commutes" etc all will be so much better for everyone, ~well worth the inconsequential handout of tax revenue that it will require, despite the seeming "windfall" to the ever predatory steelwheel bandits. Poor victims... <br /> <br /> <br />And several of the ed's in Trains mag have been chanting the "corridors are already choking at near capacity, but the RR's lack sufficient capital to even think of paying their own way " fanfare, trying to put the interests of corporate behemoths before us as though they were poor starving orphans or something. Our duty to "the Greater common Good" etc even though the pot is mighty bare in the private citizens own budgets, thanks to ENRON & pals with their collusion created electric emergencies, high gasoline prices, the absurd malicious hubris of taxation of tobacco products to levels "punitave by design",, and the general economic "funk"that spelled "no wage increase" or "no job" for so many......BUT WHY NOT LINE THE POCKETS OF BIG BUSINESS, JUST FOR THE "WARM FUZZY"? EH?
