Want a good example of how socialism doesn't work? Take Amtrak. Never mind that it loses money every year. It won't take you where you want to go either.
I was looking for a way to get from Austin to Atlanta on February 28. I looked at several airlines but the lowest price I could find was around $280. I looked at Amtrak to try to find something cheaper. The price to get from Austin to Atlanta was $365 but it would take THREE DAYS! I would have to ride from Austin to Chicago then on to DC and finally to Atlanta. Who's got 3 days to waste on a train trip?
No Amtrak for me thanks. I got a life.
