Actually, there was good news about Amtrack today:

Amtrak ridership hits record high


Not that anyone gives a crap, but don't be surprised if Joe has to pull this out of his--er--hat because he's got nothing else.

Ryan has to be truthful about the economy without getting too wonky and putting people to sleep. A couple of major points should suffice:

• At present levels, our grandchildren will be paying our debt.
• All that debt is owed to the Chinese, who are not happy about it and who are getting more militarily advanced
• So much is subsidized that we are all on welfare of some kind or other

Oh yeah, he'll bring that up if he gets a chance. He's a big rider/advocate of Amtrak. Talks constantly about all the miles he's racked up on there.

Of course it's easy when you're just riding between Washington and Wilmington, DE. It's like taking a bus.

Yeah. Try riding Amtrack in California. We don't do public transport really well here in SoCal and Amtrack is no exception. The downtown LA station is a sewer, though it's not as bad as the downtown Greyhound bus station.


BTW, are we doing a drinking game?
