Amtrak hasn't been starved, it should get a lot less. Many of the lines that get minimal traffic should be closed and they could use that money on upgrading the North East corridor and any other line that might actually make sense to run.

Many of the lines that got minimal traffic in the 90s are some of their more successful lines today. When you starve an entity, it tends to start falling apart and pulls back to its strongest links. However, despite its starvation diet, Amtrak is finding ways to grow again..............and many lines that were thought to be long gone are coming back to life. Some people prefer taking trains. Surprise, surprise!

Why don't Rs understand this shit? Why don't Rs care enough to find out?
