Ridin' the gov't rail ... to the poor house
Next time you hear some liberal spouting that public/private ObamaCare is gonna do great things for the American people, like saving money over the long run, let 'em know what great things public/private Amtrak is doin' ... like this:
U.S. taxpayers spent about $32 subsidizing the cost of the typical Amtrak passenger in 2008, about four times the rail operator's estimate, according to a private study.
If you've ever read Adam Smith, Thomas Sowell, Jude Wanniski, Gary Becker ... you know what I'm talkin' about. Indeed.
