Admin note: retitled from "Romney (wants) to cut Amtrak funding if elected" on 1.5.2012
(Romney's) not the first to say so he would cut funding, but given the grave nature of the current budget provided to Amtrak, nothing good can come of it. I'm not so sure many politicians or citizens understand the dynamics of not having subsidized rail service in America.
He (Romney) would strip Amtrak of federal subsidies, which could threaten the survival of the popular rail network.

Site Admin: changed topic title, with most humble apologies to original poster. This is valid news indeed (he's quoted as saying it, right?). However, Romney saying he'd strip funding and Congress going along are two different things. And that's all I want to point out.
