Amtrak funding represents 0.05% of the federal budget. Any talk about deficit reduction and Amtrak is absurd. Real deficit reduction needs to see cuts elsewhere including entitlements and military along with realistic new revenue. The antitax gang and Tea Partiers always like to scream about Amtrak because it has a seperate budget, is an easy target and they have a great dislike for passenger rail transportation.
