132. Policy Study No. 235 1997 paper calls Amtrak a failed national experiment and proposes alternatives. http://www.rppi.org/transportation/ps235.html

Policy Study No. 235, October 1997 Replacing Amtrak: A Blueprint for Sustainable Passenger Rail Service by Joseph Vranich Executive Summary Amtrak is a failed national experiment. By its own admission, Amtrak is headed for bankruptcy unless Washington provides another multi-billion-dollar bail-out. Another federal rescue is unjustified considering that federal and state subsidies to Amtrak since its inception in 1971 are nearing $22.5 billion, an amount out of proportion to Amtrak’s usefulness in most of the nation. The federal government does not run a national airline. It doesn’t operate a national bus company. There’s no justification for a national railroad passenger operation. America needs passenger trains in selected areas, but doesn’t need Amtrak’s antiquated route system, poor service, unreasonable operating deficits, and capital investment program with low rates of return. Amtrak’s failures result in part because it is a public monopoly—the very type of organization least able to innovate. This study reveals an Amtrak credibility crisis in the way it reports ridership figures, glosses over dwindling market share, understates subsidies, issues misleading cost-recovery claims, offers doubtful promises regarding high-speed rail, lacks proper authority for the freight business it recently launched, and misrepresents privatization as its applies to Amtrak.

NEW QUESTION: WHAT HAPPENED IN EUROPE? As statistics begin to roll in from the European countries that legalized same-sex marriage and "registered partnerships" in the 1990s, all kinds of different interpretations have been offered. Some argue that marriage in these countries is dying , and same-sex marriage is one of the causes of death. Others say SSM has had no effect or has even strengthened marriage What do you think is happening in Europe? Why is it happening? And whatif anyare the implications for Americans?
