Amtrak was a combination of failed private enterprises. The government thought that combining them would make it viable. The original idea sold to taxpayers was to run it and make it profitable enough to make it private again.

Your comments and the ones you responded to are inflammatory partisan spin. You have failed to mention that many of the traditional value rooted states are served by Amtrak as well as the liberal ones. Many communities in the center of the country will lose their transportation ties to liberal cities. The cost to those traditional communities will be much greater than the loss to the big city commuters who have taken advantage of discount travel between New York and DC.

Where were you on the failure of Continental and Greyhound?
