Why Is Amtrak About To Go Out Of Business?

"If you think that the government shouldn’t be in the business of subsidizing Amtrak, that’s fine. But then the government really shouldn’t be in the business of subsidizing Greyhound or United Van Lines by building the roads that its buses and trucks use. Then of course, the government shouldn’t be in the business of subsidizing the airlines by paying for the nation’s air-traffic control system and the construction of airports. And while you’re at it, the government shouldn’t even be in the business of subsidizing you and your nice big SUV by keeping tolls and fuel taxes lower than they would be if such fees were fully financing road construction and maintenance rather than just a tiny share."
