So you admit Amtrak is a welfare program.

I admit that Amtrak receives subsidies, and never said otherwise. But I
am bright enough to know and understand that the airline industry does
as well!

It is not really a subsidy if the money comes from the airline
passengers themselves. It is just another fee, like paying for luggage
or a drink.
Amtrack passengers get a certain percentage of their ride paid for by
taxpayers who have never ridden on a train.

Ahha. Taxation without representation. Leveling the playing field,
robbing Peter to pay Paul. etc.
