Speaking for myself, I’d rather subsidize Amtrak than EBT.

I don’t know what AMTRAK does that can’t be done quicker and cheaper by a low-cost commuter airline without taxpayer subsidies.

Bingo. Say what you want about railways but in case of major crisis like WWIII or another Extinct Event it would be the lifelines of civilization. You can’t overestimate their strategic value.

By all means, subsidize it. Just leave the taxpayers out of it.
