Well, consider that the present-day Acela fare one-way between New York and Washington costs between $136 and $145 one-way. Not exactly geared towards lower-class welfare recipients, but more likely a different breed of recipient of federal welfare. (The highest fare on the old Metroliner from 1969, in 2012 dollars, works out to $79.84 one way.) The Acela fare between New York and Philadelphia is actually higher than between New York and Washington (checking Amtrak.com, I got a whopping $156 one-way).

I defer to your knowledge of prices currently to/from wherever. I submit that when the debacle is instantiated, all that goes out the window for Obama’s people. Done before, will be done again.
