Susie over at Suburban Guerilla thinks that this is a good example of the government underfunding Amtrak and took advantage of a captive audience in Philadelphia to evangelize a change in control in November.
Yes, President Bush tried to zero out government subsidies for Amtrak last year. At the time, I blogged about Senator Obama’s support for not only maintaining government support but actually upgrading our rail lines; as one who loves train travel for both business and pleasure, I would hope that we take this opportunity to have a serious dialog about the quality of rail travel and the role government can play in ensuring its survival…
Meanwhile, we still haven’t moved.
You're just saying that because you're stuck on a train right now :-)
