You Can talk to me about my health care??
Mr. Black said that while the railroad is not set up to make money, “we’re intended to maximize revenues.”
From the New York Times
Profits are unlikely. The Government Accountability Office found last November that Amtrak had received more than $30 billion in federal aid since its creation in 1971, but was still in “poor financial condition,” with extensive deferred maintenance.
When Amtrak began operating 37 years ago, the plan was for it to eventually break even. In 1997, Congress passed a law threatening dire consequences if it did not reach self-sufficiency by 2002.
But by 2002 the mood had changed, and the appropriations have continued, financing losses of over $1 billion a year.
