I am sure the union will just blame Amtrak. And since my tax dollars keep Amtrak in business my tax dollars will be spent to pay off the numerous lawsuits.

Amtrak needs to be cut off form any tax dollars. Make the riders pay the cost of the service. If they can't stay in business then shut down and close. That will happen right after congress balances the budget and achieves lasting peace in the middle east.

Not enough of your tax dollars go to things like this. The Repubs just refused to fund Amtrak for what they need to upgrade the system. Spending priorities you know. Money for bombs and armies but none for infrastructure, education or healthcare.
