Lifted the responsibility right away. <br /> <br />This federal program of passenger rail, called Amtrak, just didn't work. As easily as Congress took these railroad's responsibilities away 34 years ago, let's just give it back. <br /> <br />President Bush is all for making business live up to its commitments. Its time to admit that Amtrak just didn't work. The taxpayers just need to throw this ball back to the server, private enterprise - THE FREIGHT RAILROADS! <br /> <br />Jim - Lawton, NV MP 236 <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yeah, lets have the governement who took on the responsibility, abrogate it, breach numerous agreements, violate statues, laws, regulations and even the U.S. Constitution and force the railroads to take back it's mess... <br /> <br />FOFLMAO...yeah, right... <br /> <br />Jim, whatever you are smoking, you need to pass it around...LOL... <br /> <br />LC
