Amtrak Snack Bars Lost $84.5 Million Last Year; $833 Million In 10 Years Federal spending over the past 20 years has surged 71 percent faster than inflation, much of it on bloated and wasteful programs and services, including Vice President Joe Biden's favorite mode of travel: Amtrak. Quoting: DL According to the newly revised Heritage Foundation report, "Federal Spending by the Numbers," the rail service lost $84.5 million alone on its food and beverage services in 2011, and $833.8 million over the past 10 years. "It has never broken even on these services," said Heritage. [link to washingtonexaminer.com] Who was the president the other 6 years ?? :dubya: President George W.

Quoting: Fred 25488548 Look how much tax you pay for a gallon of gas - it was supposed to take care of that as well as maintenance and was never expected to turn a profit. I wonder how much of that tax is actually spent on roads? My guess is NONE |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11302446 Just look at that memo leaked from the US nuclear power watch agency which talked about the need to propagate the msg that nuclear power is safe for the benefit of the industry (when as a watchdog they shouldn't do the industry's PR for them), or how Monsanto executives occupy the ranks of the USDA today, or how banksters occupy the fed and treasury. Absolutely clear conflicts of interest. I just can't wait for the day when an ex fedex chairman who owns half the stocks of the company starts heading USPS, only to suddenly see it failing miserably because "its the government". That's what happens when you believe corporations are people. CORRUPTION and BOTH parties feed at the corporate trough. |

Cut the waste! This is just a way they turn us against each other, so we the people are to blame, but not the real robbers. Cause why talk about what the 1% of waste when the 99% of waste is in military and fake wars on terror. And they don't steal your soul when they take for trains and shit, but when they take from you and kill a child with that money and it cost so much more, that takes your soul, they do it in your name. Your a distraction. I call. |

BUT, the biggest part of the picture you have missed is the mention of "surging gains against inflation" and none of these presidential holders have had real inflation measured as the real cost of most things affecting, directly, what you are reporting is not there. |

War is what the "Guberment" is supposed to do you idiot! to protect the states. we could argue further but if you sent all the other BS back to the states the GUBERMENT would have no reason other than protection to wage wars. So in reality you and all of your socialist programs are the reason we fight wars at all! deal with it libtard you created this monster we call the GUBERMENT. Less of it will and always has meant less war!!!! fact! |

So government fails because it is being sabotaged by free marketeers? Are you really serious? Also, you evidently do not know and have not known that the U.S. Postal Service has been running a huge deficit for years, and will miss a $5 billion payment that is due sometime soon on its pension obligation. I guess Fedex workers are sabotaging the USPS and you were left out of the loop on it. :) |

You sir are a blowhard and an asshole. The government spends the same on pensions as they do on defense spending... By defense spending, I mean being the world police. That's outrageous that pensions can cost the same amount as constantly being engaged in wars and having over 900 military bases around the world. |

Sure they "ran a loss"......just really think where those millions went. It's not as if they bought food and just threw it out the window. It was a siphoning operation....maybe even to install gas chambers on some of the trains not yet in service |
