1) The yearly Amtrak budget is less than the Pentagon spends in one day .
2) The yearly Amtrak budget is less than the FAA spends in a month.
3) If Amtrak is cut, the states would have to spend more to provide current services.
4) If Amtrak is cut, many states would have to create their own maintenance facilities & staff.
5) ALL public transportation in the United States loses money overall. Just ask the airlines.
6) No one has ever hijacked an Amtrak train & flown it into a building !!!
