[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just set yourself up for my eternal question that never gets a response:

***How was your recent Amtrak ride?***

Crickets coming.

1). It’s dysfunctional, dirty and customer service is a joke

2). Anyone can bring weapons on board.  There is no screening

3). Americans hate each other and we treasure our privacy.  Hence, our national love affair with the car

4).  Who will ride across the country on Amtrak when they could fly? Don’t say “but Shinkansen!”  Or “but TGV!”  Can you imagine how much that would cost and how long that would take to get that going?[/quote]

[b]Trump is again asking Congress to slash Amtrak funding[/b]

Sean Jeans-Gail, vice president of the Rail Passengers Association, said the cuts would hit rural areas particularly hard. The long-distance routes provide the only form of passenger train travel in many communities across the contiguous United States, reaching 140 million Americans in 23 states, he said.
“Trump’s base is rural, where Amtrak provides a very essential service that the free market is not going to provide,” Jeans-Gail said. “But his message is: ‘Screw you the rural stations.’ ”

How typical that the Republicans sabotage progress and then use the results as an excuse as to why progress is impossible! We see you and your dishonest games even if your own ignorant base has been hoodwinked.[/quote]
