Problem if your goal is to keep railroads margins constant through freight price restriction and cost restriction (ie margin restriction), you provide no inventive for them to become more cost efficient. It's regressive.

Not sure wtf you are talking about.

REGULATION...is his point.

[saskcanfarmer]

PROPER regulation is my point

Bucket - You want the best of both worlds. Absolute capacity at a margin cost lower then can be had in other commodities. Economies don't work that way my friend

We gave the railways the efficiency by eliminating 70 percent of the points.

And larger loading points.

There needs to be respect for capital markets when making regulation. You have to create efficient and effective regulation that grows the economy.

Bucket - What exactly do you want? Do you truely believe you should pay less for better service?

[farmaholic]

"Respect"... now that's rich. Too bad in isn't reciprocal!

[saskcanfarmer]

Let's not kid ourselves here. Farmers have made very very good margins the last five years. It's time to stop playing the poor me card and understand that subsidies hurt the economy by improperly allocating funds to a lower denominator.
