Look at the successful re-privatization and emergence from bankruptcy of Chrysler. I think your lack of faith in the government is misplaced, and your opinions on Amtrak are completely skewed. Amtrak was created by the Nixon Administration to protect a useful and efficient private industry that government subsidies into highways and airlines had almost destroyed. As it turns out, rail and transit are cleaner, faster, and more cost-effective investments than the automobile, highway, and airline industries. As a conservative, wouldn't you want your government to do the more cost-effective and efficient thing and stop paying out the 100s of billions of dollars towards the wasteful and fraudulent highway and airline systems?
