Posted by WillD on Wed Mar 14 22:33:56 2012, in response to Romney: "I'd Get Rid Of Amtrak Subsidy", posted by JayZeeBMT on Wed Mar 14 09:08:22 2012. Not surprising in the slightest given the ideologically motivated contempt for any other mode of transport displayed by 'conservatives' both on the national level and on this board, even when it results in greater expenditures. What matters is his stance on road, air, and yes, maritime and farm subsidies. It goes without saying he'd try to draw blood from a stone by reducing our deficit with the billion dollar Amtrak budget. The big question is whether or not he'd have the gumption to deal with the real money holes to bring about real debt reduction, and whether he'd support the high speed rail lines, which would more than likely operate without subsidies.If he has the courage to both take on the real problems and recognize the need to improve our infrastructure then he might be worthwhile in the end. But that isn't gonna happen. R. money has already shown he's gonna do more of the same we've seen out of the Republicans. Socialism for him and his buddies, nothing for everyone else. |
