<p>[quote user="dakotafred"]</p> <p>[quote user="Dixie Flyer"]</p> <p>If Amtrak carried 4 times the current 30 million peasengers a year and lost 4 times the current losses (say 6-8 billion per year) how would we feel as the American people, as taxpayers etc.</p> <div style="clear:both;">[/quote]</div> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <div style="clear:both;">I'd say, money well spent, vs. the value we get from most of our $1.5-trillion budget. But, then, my wife and I are just off another superlative Amtrak trip! [/quote]</div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="clear:both;">The United States federal government has not adopted a budget during the current administration. According to the U.S. Financial Statements for FY11, the federal government spent approximately $3.7 trillion on a variety of government activities. The President's 2012 budget proposed spending $3.8 trillion; however, it was not adopted by the Congress.</div>
