OK, and?

I find it amusing that in this thread if I make a statement opposing government funding of trains people point out that Airplanes get government funding, and if make a comment opposing government funding of airplanes people point out that trains get government funding

It seems that the 2 groups are completely unable to fathom that a person could simply oppose government funding of both Planes and Trains....

Neither Amtrak nor Air Travel should get ANY tax payer money, for any purpose or reason..

Do you have this confused with a different subthread perhaps? The argument you made above is that rail is obviously more economically efficient than aviation, and that to doubt this is willfully ignorant.
