[QUOTE]Originally posted by RRRICH: [QB] I'm not saying that the Philadelphia derailment was not a terrible and avoidable accident, since it was indeed -- but the Republicans in Congress are using this incident as a reason to defund AMTRAK, apparently. In the derailment, 8 people out of 300-some were killed, which is indeed very tragic, and our thoughts and prayers go out to their families. But if a Jumbo jet crashes (be it by terrorism or whatever), and 300 out of 300 people are killed instantly, the same Republicans don't threaten to cut funding to the airlines, do they? (as we all know, airlines get MUCH more Federal funding than measly little AMTRAK) My food for thought....... (don't get me wrong -- I will likely vote Republican in 2016, for other reasons......)
