[quote user="oltmannd"] [quote user="Bucyrus"] Do the railroad companies oppose PTC just because it does not have enough benefit to justify the cost?  Maybe the reason they don’t speak out against it is because they are not against it.  Maybe this is just a version of “seatbelt law” for the railroads.  There are a lot of people who will insist if it saves just one life, it is worth it.  That is their cost/benefit analysis.  [/quote] Should we divert the entire GDP of the country to save "just one life"?  That argument fails at the boundaries  (both of them).[/quote] Sure the argument fails at the boundaries, but it has apparently won the day in the case of PTC.  We all agree that the benefit exceeds the cost.  So if not for arguments that fail at the boundaries, how else to explain why we have the mandate?
