Budget cuts for Amtrak

Since we had this discussion here recently about who supports Amtrak and who doesn't, these are just the facts.

Trump proposes cutting Amtrak funding, boosting infrastructure spending

"The proposal would cut Amtrak funds in fiscal 2021 by more than 50% over 2020 levels. It could cut funds to the congested northeast corridor from $700 million to $325 million and cut long-distance train funds from $1.3 billion to $611 million, then phase out support for Amtrak’s long-distance trains."
