Seeing how the next election is coming up, I have not heard anything about Kerry's view on Amtrak or on transportation in general. Is it better than Bush's? I don't think Bush's first thing is to scrap Amtrak, or to stengthen it. He's so caught up in the war busniness, internal things like Amtrak, are last on his mind. They don't even consider what Amtrak wants or needs and just gives them the normal $900 million as they always have. If you just give money to improve public transportation, the economy will fix itself, is what I think.
