You don't know what a subsidy is. You don't know what a loan is. You don't know how contracts work. You don't know anything about economic principles. You don't know what the phrase "de facto" means. And in this one line, you prove you don't have the slightest clue what socialism is. Not to mention, you have trouble with basic reading comprehension. Such as: Amtrak does NOT subsidize private railroads. In my previous post, I explained to you that the passenger rail industry is subsidised by Amtrak, by virtue of the fact that Amtrak is, you know, government-run. However, you were unable to comprehend that and indignantly replied that Amtrak doesn't subsidise the freight rail industry. That's true. However, we were interested in the passenger rail industry. Since the free market has determined cars and planes to be superior to passenger rail, the only way passenger trains can run is if the government runs them, in stark contrast to automobiles (which are 100% private) and airlines (which are 100% private). |
