why don't we have it everywhere? this is not new technology. so why don't we have it guys? ed why? >> some do. >> simply because amtrak has been underfunded for years now. i testified once before a senate committee and senator shelby said to me, well governor, you mean you understand we -- >> ed, with all due respect, i'm going to cut you off there. you can't blame how crappy metro north is on an alabama senator. >> no but i'm just saying the whole -- >> but come on. there is horrible mismanagement here. on metro north up and down amtrak, is there not? >> no question. but congress mandated ptc being put in effect this year. if they had mandateded it three or four years -- remember the guy from the national safety board said this was on their most wanted list. they submitted their most wanted list to congress. the answer is, we do underfund it. every train system in the world is subsidized, joe.
