With trains, you usually don't have to deal with long lines. With trains, you don't have to deal with crappy seats, even the crappy seats in first class. With trains, you don't have to contort yourself to pee standing up in the rest room. With trains, if the engine fails, the train simply comes to a stop.-- * Lock up Trump and his family of grifters. * Enjoy your choo choo trains dummy. You don't sound right. Have you had your head examined lately? Harry just likes the idea that he can off load 2/3ds of the cost of his train ticket on the tax payer. It is like Biden spending $86 Billion, we don't have, bailing out the pension plans of corrupt unions in the "covid" bill. Oh, right, because air travel isn't subsidized and neither are the producers of the fuel burned in planes, trains, and automobiles and cruise ships, et cetera. Nothing like Amtrack. You really have to stretch to compare the "subsidy" of airlines to trains. Why not give us examples if you are so sure. Yeah the government operates air traffic control but you would lose your mind if I suggested privatizing that. The Airlines do kick money into that budget. Airlines pay gate fees to use government airports. Any so called fuel subsidy is the same as the subsidy for the diesel the trains buy, the truckers buy or the gas for your car. It still gets taxed. Sure the middle east eats a big part of the DoD budget but that is more about Israel than it is about oil. We don't depend on Saudi oil anymore. We get far more from Canada and Mexico than the middle east and we are a net exporter now. Amtrak is subsidized to the tune of $2 billion a year. Our new aircraft carriers run about $13 billion to build. The Amtrak sudsidy is chicken feed. What do aircraft carriers have to do with airlines? I have always landed at an airport. Although it would be exciting to watch a 757 land on a carrier I want to watch from another boat. Can we go watch on your twin Volvo trawler :-) As for your $2B subsidy, there were 16.8 million rail trips in the US last year. That means we paid $119 to each passenger, just to ride the train. 10.5m million of them were going to and from Penn Station. Most of them were just coming in to NYC from Westchester county, Long Island, Connecticut or Jersey. They claim commuter rail almost pays it's own way so your $135 trip to Florida really cost about $500 and the tax payer picked up the difference. Aircraft carriers are nothing but floating targets to a technologically advanced enemy. Why waste tens of billions of dollars on them when we could be building a modern, intracity railroad system that millions could use. As for the subsidy, so what? As I pointed out earlier, we subsidize all sorts of industries. What are the oil company tax breaks worth? $20 billion a year? More?-- * Lock up Trump and his family of grifters. *

Why waste hundreds of billions of dollars building a modern
railroad to transit between ******** cities that are controlled
by democrats and riddled with poverty and crime?
