Trump’s proposed budget cuts of $630k to Amtrak will surely disrupt our national long-distance railway system throwing it into a possible melt down. To think that this summer’s travel season may be the last with passenger trains for millions of Americans, is ridiculous and will put the U.S. far behind most other countries. This Administration’s proposed budget will wipe out funding for long distance train service in over 220 cities and towns and 20 cities including: Alexandria, VA; Birmingham, AL; . . .

Great Gig this Public Service
Being a member of congress is a great gig, despite all the “sacrifice and exhausting public service.” Why do some of these characters hang on for decades?
