Amtrak Philadelphia Crash Not Caused By Lack Of Taxpayer Funding

Amtrak Philadelphia Crash Not Caused By Lack Of Taxpayer Funding - Investors.com: "After the recent Amtrak train crash in Philadelphia, some politicians and pundits used the terrible tragedy to perpetuate the misleading claim that the federal government's passenger rail operation suffers from a lack of taxpayer assistance.

This rush to judgment was unsurprising, given that misfortune is sometimes synonymous with opportunity in the eyes of the political class.

Amtrak has a lot of problems, but a lack of federal funding isn't one of them."
