Aviation subsidies are $12B More than Amtrak so why does Romney not cut those?

Why is Romney killing off what more and more seniors are using ?

    It would be necessary to ask Romney's advisers...

  • Part one:

    If you get an Amtrak ticket for Pittsburgh to Philadelphia - the Federal budget would SAVE MONEY if, instead of actually running the train:

    > They put you in a limo from the Pittsburgh station to the airport

    > They get you a 1st class ticket to Philadelphia

    > They have another limo meet you and take you to the Philadelphia station.

    Everyone can see why Democrats DEFEND forcing everyone to fund Amtrak.

    Part two:

    What makes you think airline subsidies are off the table - besides that not one Democrat can possibly be persuaded not to increase them, that is?

    Part three:

    What seniors use most are SS and Medicare - which according to literally 100% of Congressional DEMOCRATS (in the last reform debates) - are positively guaranteed to COLLAPSE if left as all Democrats demand they be left. ONLY REPUBLICANS have ever made ANY sort of proposal that has any chance whatsoever of preventing COLLAPSE of these programs.

    How is Romney attempting to kill Amtrak? Does he carry Federal place of work someplace which i don't understand approximately? Has Amtrak not been killing itself for the previous various years? What has Obama executed to help Amtrak over the final 3.5 years? be chuffed to digital mail me this records.

    1. How do you know, Romney is NOT after aviation subsidies?

    2. The $12B figure consists mostly of funding for "dual-use" technologies -- unlike trains, aviation is heavily used by the military, which makes it a LEGITIMATE recipient of tax-dollars.

    Mr. Romney is in no position to cut ANY subsidies for anything. Tell us why chairman obama hasn't cut these unconstitutional subsidies? Also, please tell us how many different ways you intend to ask this same moronic question.
