February 7, 2008, 11:26pm (report abuse)For a measly $100 a year we can begin to restore Amtrak service. It's worth it, considering it cost us $1 billion a DAY to run the defense department,andthat doesn't count the additionalcosts of Afganistan and Iraq.

February 8, 2008, 10:30am (report abuse)For the benefits this bill can provide, almost $100 per family is an extreme bargin, compared to what we spend on transportation now. We need a modern transportation network that includes rail as a viable option, not an afterthought for train buffs and the poor. Our entire transportation "system" is decades behind the rest of the industrial world and it is hurting us greatly.

June 9, 2008, 4:34pm (report abuse)There are MANY reasons we need to invest in rail in this country--for the environment, for energy independence, for national security, for consumers...we can't keep wasting energy like we have been, and I think these out of control gas prices are probably a blessing, because they are making us start to think again. Too bad it took this to make it happen.
