Amtrak Budget Faces Cuts A U.S. congressional panel has rejected a proposal to increase the budget for Amtrak -- the government-funded national passenger rail service. In fact, that Republican-controlled panel Wednesday approved deep spending cuts to Amtrak's budget, just hours after a deadly train crash in Philadelphia. That crash killed at least seven people and injured scores of others. Zlatica Hoke has more. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/media/video/2767013.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/media/video/2767013.html
