Boehner refuses to talk about GOP Amtrak cuts
When a reporter asked Boehner to clarify whether Amtrak’s apparent infrastructure troubles are related to spending cuts, Boehner interrupts her and demands: “Are you really going to ask such a stupid question?”

“Well,” says Boehner, more sternly now, “obviously it’s not about funding. The train was going twice the speed limit. Adequate funds were there. No money’s been cut from rail safety. And the House passed a bill earlier this spring, to reauthorize Amtrak and reauthorize a lot of these programs. And uh, it’s hard for me to imagine that people take the bait on some of the nonsense that gets, uh, spewed around here.”
It is a stupid question: everything the GOP does is either about making the rich richer or making it very difficult for common folks to live, as in remain alive.
They want you dead.
Why else do they fight against new jobs? They don't want you to earn money.
Why else do they fight against unemployment funds for people who lose jobs? They don't want you to have money.
Why do they fight against food stamps so the hungry can eat? They don't want you to eat.
Why do they fight against healthcare access so poor sick people with no jobs can get proper healthcare? They don't want them to get well.
And, in this specific situation, WHY would repubs oppose funding for train safety and other infrastructure-type issues? Republicans hate your transportation. You don't need to go anywhere.
And because they hope you will get killed. They would feign outrage at this suggestion but the pattern is very, very clear.
Their bosses in the 1% seldom ride Amtrack, if ever so it';s not like it affects too many of the super-rich. the only people who DO matter to the psychopaths across the aisle.
They hate your family, they hate your freedoms. They hate you.
And we're supposed to worry about al Queda and ISIS when these bastards run our country.
I am still daring anybody to show me some other reasoning which explains all the horrible things republicans work for.
I have to walk a dog: I'll check in from time to time to see if anybody has set me straight so I can stop making this heinous accusation.
I won't be holding my breath though.
