Why is Romney killing Amtrak whose cost is less than 1/2 of 1% of our fed budget?

Partly because of te general Republican reluctance to support anything GOOD. Partly because of his knowledge that most Americans are cr@ppy at math.

He thinks if he lists a bunch of tiny expenditures, and the talking heads at Fox "News" do THEIR kind of math, that people won't think he's going to balloon our debt far beyond what it is now.

Of course, he also counting on the fact that most media refuse to do THEIR JOBS and report the consequences, or fact-check anything.

in step with risk you do no longer carry close the thought if we don't cut back back on something The dollar would be scrap paper. this could propose all of the funds you have is valueless. No retirement for you or funds which you will commute everywhere. we are in deep do-can we are borrowing funds from China to stay alive. we've been residing on credit for it sluggish now. 19 Trillion in debt. we are little ones who do no longer comprehend the thank you to apply a mastercard. You dont shop spending whilst the interest value is killing you.

If you had any clue to the real story....Romney is NOT trying to "kill" Amtrak but only trying to "privatize" it where it doesn't cost the taxpayers money.

In private business...if you want to make money...then you develop plans and policies that make your business successful.

In government...taxpayers dollars are wasted because there is no competition!

Do you know how much federal tax money has been pumped in to Amtrak? Eventually the flow of cash needs to stop. Better now than never.

romney , of the 1 % by the 1 % , for the 1 % .
