Why is it every time someone want’s money they run to the federal government? Why is it that when something is used by the public at large, highways, airports, railways, etc people wan to lump these things as a responsibility of the government? Hasn’t history shown us that the US government is incapable of taking care of the infrastructure of the US and it would be better in the hands of private for profit companies?
Free markets not governments bring innovation to the infrastructure of any country, and especially to the United States! Amtrak is in financial trouble because of politics and government policies that don’t allow Amtrak to charge market prices for riders, and in doing so financially cripples Amtrak! When the government subsidizes anything, quality and safety are the first two things that are sacrificed because of a lack of money.
One of answer to a lack of money for Amtrak and Penn station in NYC, are yours and mine tax dollars. Amtrak is not accountable to it’s passengers, because they are not truly customers, the federal government is the customer, because it foots most of the bill! Until the privatization of the infrastructure in America can take place, you will see more and more quality and safety issue, and the tax payers will be the ones who have to foot the bill!
Daily Bible Reading: Hebrews 1:1-4 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
