LIE CAMPAIGN: 11 THINGS THE MEDIA WON’T TELL YOU ABOUT AMTRAK

APTOPIX Amtrak Crash

by JOHN NOLTE13 May 2015

Before the dead were counted and the facts known, the craven, partisan ghouls in our mainstream media were already using a terrible domestic tragedy to call for more government spending.

The media’s politically-loaded word of the day is “infrastructure.” This comes as absolutely no surprise when you understand that the foundation of all media bias is to increase the size and power of our centralized government. And what better way to do that than to feast off the fresh corpses of those killed on a passenger train run by our bloated, incompetent federal government.

And what better way to distract from the fact that 6 innocent people died on a passenger train run by our bloated, incompetent federal government than to blame-shift to the selfish taxpayers and the evil Republican Party.

You see, Amtrak is like Baltimore: although government has had its fingers in everything for decades, the only solution is more government.

Heads up! This is the media’s game-plan for the rest of the week: At least through the Sunday shows, the media will exploit the Amtrak tragedy to call for more government spending and blame Republicans.

That makes this a perfect time to arm yourselves with the facts:

The Federal Government Owns and Operates Amtrak

Amtrak Loses Hundreds of Millions of Dollars a Year

American Taxpayers Subsidize a Service They Don’t Use

Very Small Percentage of the Population Use a Government Service We All Pay For

Amtrak Has Already Been Subsidized to the Tune of a Whopping $45 billion

Amtrak Is Set to Receive Another $7 Billion Over the Next 5 years

Amtrak Is Not Under-Funded, It Is Criminally Mismanaged

American People Subsidize $60 of Every Amtrak Ticket Sold

Taxpayers Subsidize Passengers Who Can Afford to Make Amtrak Profitable

There Is No Good Reason for The Government To Own Amtrak

The Amtrak Derailment Might Be Yet Another Failure of the Federal Government

  1. GWB bailed Amtrak out in 2003, I think. I was hoping it would go under, and be replaced by a functioning system.

    In order to compare with the rest of the world’s rail systems, though, we would have to exercise eminent domain a lot more than we historically have, in order to build longer straight runs of track.

    That’s a tough sell in a country where the concept of individual ownership is held in high regard.
