[quote user="oltmannd"] If every taxpayer was an occasional Amtrak LD train rider or even if it could be shown that Amtrak's LD trains provide a net societal benefit relative to their subsidy, then the "per taxpayer" arguement would be a good one. But, I've never seen any sort of cost/benefit analysis. Why? Because, I suspect, the case can't be made! I've never seen it - and I've been looking and reading for decades. <p>I've been all over the NARP web site. Lots of interesting thoughts, but not much meat.</p><p>I'd sure like to see NARP hold Amtrak as accountable for productivity as they do for service levels.[/quote]</p><p>If so, how did Amtrak manage to stay on since 1971, in spite of Reagan's and others' attempts to destroy it?</p>
