While I agree with you, Amtrak does get government funding. It used to be a heck of a lot of money but we live in the era of neoliberalism that Reagan instantiated. Funding has been cut and cut and cut. Amtrak is on life support and should be nationalized.
But in this political climate, it ain't happening. I'll take what I can get. It is way better to publicly fund this over say: an NFL stadium, etc.
