Before you go start revolutions I'll remind you that the Federal Railroad Administration, which sets safety regulations for trains, is under Democratic control. And has been for 10 out of the last 14 years.

So is the governorship in Pennsylvania, which can also regulate rail inside the state to an extent, has been Democratic for the last 8 years.

What do you expect people to say? 'OH, the Democrats screwed up? Cool thanks I'm not mad anymore"? Not everyone's a hyper partisan nut job; you can still be critical of the same party member

Also wasn't the rail industry deregulated in the 70s? And with precision scheduled railroading, it's wall street types that pushed their staff to the brink of exhaustion for the sake of the shareholders? You know, the free market? You must really think we're dumb to not see through your weird bad argument
