Only Republicans from cities and suburbs don't like Amtrak, rural politicians love it. I'd assume it's the same with EAS.

Why is this boomer bringing up ancient talking points out of nowhere when the rest of the left is losing its mind about Ukraine for no coherent reason?

Going by breitbart, the last time Amtrak profits were on the right's radar was july 2017, and in december 2017 Trump used a derailment to argue for more infrastructure spending.

Not to mention highways. Several diehard Republican states had to raise their gas tax last year because highways are such a huge drain on the budget.
A Republican in my state said that “tolling a highway goes against every conservative principle I have”. They just don’t put 2 and 2 together.

Because with EAS there is literally no reason for Amtrak's long distance routes to exist other than romanticism

Considering that some of those routes have a tradition half as old as your country that seems reason enough.
There's literally nothing wrong with spending a bunch of money to keep your heritage alive.

Because oil money controls the Republican Party these days.
Trump even said "We're only in Syria for the oil" blatantly.

low iq detected

trump said that on campaign before meeting with the security advisors.. America is a net producer of oil and saudi is still miles ahead

we're in syria because of ISRAEL and Saudi although it is true that we started out as allies with the Saudis because of oil, the truth now is that the situation has evolved into a whole globalist banking, military, energy cartel with the UN and china and russia playing their respective roles as well

there is also a pipeline that russia wanted to build through syria but that's not going to happen anyway and you could correctly characterize that as being about western homogeneity and globalism rather than because of "muh big oil petro dollar"

Also i though the libtards said Trump lies more than any other president. Is he telling the truth all of a sudden when it fits your narrative?

also Obama, Hillary, and Mccain literally created isis

Amtrak is a fucking mess while air travel is less shitty since there is more at stake for the owners and workers.

Governmental monopolies can slack off and treat customers like shit and the workers and managers still get paid.

Also, rural airports are essential for logistics and infrastructure.

No hypocrisy. Just an ignorant bitch who forgot where the kitchen was.

Pretending public services have no cl economic benefit is one of the lamest "right wing" positions to take, but this woman is clearly biased. Politics is a joke

executing all the retards in the world would have an economic benefit but that doesn't mean it's ok

the trains ran on time in nazi germany

the problem with public services is that private ones could do it better and cheaper and if you live in a place that no compnay wants to service profitably then you shouldnt live there in the first place and government giving you services just compounds the problem

Farming supplies for starters. Also, the city airports can get backed up not to mention extra airports can be helpful during emergencies.

EAS is a scheme designed to subsidized passenger flights. Not freight flights that would carry such supplies
And airports eligible to receive EAS must also be at least some distances away from major airports nearby, so that they cannot reasonably use those airports instead. That excluded them from airports that's possible to help alleviate main airports. Plus, many of those airports that get EAS are small airports that couldn't land large mainline passenger jets anyway.
