Tommy Thompson's favorite train.
“It costs passengers $9.50 to buy a cheeseburger on Amtrak, but the cost to taxpayers is $16.15," said [Rep. John Mica (R-FL)]. "Riders pay $2.00 for a Pepsi, but each of these sodas costs the U.S. Treasury $3.40." --AOSHQ quoting Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It takes a special sort of stupid to lose money on a $9.50 cheeseburger.
The "conservative budget-slashing" Thompson sat on the Amtrak Board and loved it.
His toy train? A complete loser. Best for all of us that Tommy retires to his home's Lionel train-set.
Neumann!
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I wish Howdy Doody would just go away and leave us alone. He can retire to the Old Has-Been Politicians Home in northern Nebraska.
