yup, and after he gets his econ degree, maybe he can point out where in the constitution it says the federal government shall operate a passenger railroad
unfortunately, we call all scream close it down, sell it off, give it away, get rid of it, and it'll still be around 100 years from now, sucking taxpayers dry
The issue is not the government operating a passenger railroad. Even I don't support that. It's about government assistance to infrastructure, and doing for the railroads what the government did for the airlines and cruise ships. It's about a level playing field.
