Biden and Amtrak

I was questioning the selection of Biden.  He seems like he can get himself in trouble if he talks too much.  (I will compose a post on Brian Schweitzer, along with his great speech the other night at some point)

But I was really encouraged to hear about how much he commutes via Amtrak.  It would be great to have a VP that understands the need to support and grow Amtrak.

To that point I am passing on a Biden quote from a Washington Post article

"One of those things that I keep telling my colleagues: If they fully funded Amtrak, I would not be late. [Pause.] And some suggest that's why they don't fully fund Amtrak."

A fully funded Amtrak does sound nice.
