Here we go, again. Another episode of "The Perils of Pauline" stars the Bush
administration as the villain in black hat and waxed moustache, tying the
hapless Amtrak to the rails as the Bankruptcy Express barrels down the track.
Spare us another installment, please. Instead, put Amtrak on track to a
stable financial future.
In the latest episode, the Amtrak board fired CEO David Gunn for supposedly
dragging his feet on reforms. In fact, his offense more likely was opposing
the Bush administration's desire to liquidate Amtrak and turn the remains over
to private enterprise. On cue, members of Congress vowed to restore any cuts
in service to their states.
