Biden administration announces largest passenger rail investment since Amtrak creation

Quote

Las Vegas — President Biden on Friday is announcing $8.2 billion in new funding for 10 passenger rail projects nationwide, representing the largest federal investment in passenger rail transportation since Amtrak was created in 1971. 

What proctologist is finding this money, and who's butt is it coming out of?  Why do I feel the urge to watch the monorail episode of the Simpsons after reading this article?  Will this end up like the electric bus article posted earlier this week?  (Spoiler alert, more than likely)

Isn’t Amtrak operating at a loss?

I guess he’s expecting a 10% return on the money to go to his next election campaign  :thatsright:
