I don't understand the relevance of the question. I was trying to find a clearly necessary program to make the point that one person's program is another's pork to a great extent is not the case. Amtrak is an iffy program so it's not a good example. I was trying to get you to look at your generalization when it applies to a necessary program. A program does something that enough people want done that a majority vote for it because they think it's in the national interest. Pork is pure patronage.
