[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] Remember how we used to say, "That's Billion---with a B"?? Well now with all of this multi-trillion dollar talk, a billion seems like a drop in the bucket (it isn't). Sorry, but this clown in the White House is going to ruin our country if we don't put a stop to it. Multi-trillion dollar debts? An armed civilian security force (what the hell is THAT and why do we need it??). The list goes on and on, but I probably shouldn't get into it too much here. But if you want to know what a trillion dollars is (because I could not even comprehend it), here is an excellent graphic of what we are actually talking about: http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html It seems like the windfall of money that Amtrak will be receiving won't really do as much as the hoopla that people were hoping for. It looks like the NEC will, as always, get a good chunk of the money. But as an Amtrak customer, I don't think you're really going to notice too much....especially on Western long-distance trains. Can't they budget in there somewhere to have electrical outlets at every seat????? [/QB][/QUOTE]
