Avalon - To the Avalon spouter regarding Amtrak: The bipartisan Passenger Rail Reform and Investment Act of 2015 could subsidize Amtrak by an estimated $7 billion from 2016 to 2020. If the bill becomes law, taxpayers will continue paying for Amtrak's losses for at least five more years. Despite generous taxpayer subsidies, Amtrak has run operation losses every year since it began operating in 1971. That is insane! The government never makes a profit and has big losses that we, the taxpayers get stuck paying. Privatize Amtrak, the Post Office, etc., and stop taxing the people to pay for gov. losses!
