WHO: The Department of Transportation
WHAT: Despite the fact that Amtrak loses money — it’s federal subsidy works out to $32 per passenger — the failing railway received $1.3 billion in stimulus funds.
WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: After GM and Chrysler, how many other forms of transportation can we afford to bail out? Amtrak will never be profitable so long as it’s dependent on taxpayer subsidies.
WHERE TO VENT: Call the Department of Transportation at 202-366-4000.
