| #3 Union Station is just down the street from the Capitol and provides frequent service to Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. It's a damned Congressional perk. Reduce service to Washington and Congress won't care anymore and many lobbyists will find it far less convenient to go to Washington. Sounds like a win all round. |

| #2 Amtrak mostly serves blue states anyway. No loss. |

| #1 Darn. I wish Bush had proposed additional funding. Then the Dems would have demanded the subsidy be ended. Hmmm...maybe what Bush really wants is more money for Amtrak? |
