>> bill, i could think this is cost effective for britain. the official government figure for the cost of the diamond jubilee is $12 million. that's about 18 million u.s. dollars. contrast that with the cost of inauguration ceremony $117 million to the u.s. taxpayer. in return. of course, the royal family does raise a huge amount of money, i think through tourism. the estimates for the amount of money the jubilee has raised for britain in terms of extra tourism cash is about 10 billion pounds that's a huge amount of money. that's quite a saving to the british taxpayer. >> you guys both think that the royal family brings money to britain when all is said and done that it's -- the industry of being the royal family. now, remember, you have got windsor castle. you have all the other lodges all over the place. you have got all of this stuff going on. but you both say this is a profit center. >> it is a -- actually is an industry. there is a a phrase for her that sir walter padgett came up she is part of the dignified it not the efficient part of

this is what they do in great britain and most european countries, all right? you can call it socialized medicine, you can call it whatever you want. but the government calls the shots, and the supreme court has said now that they're okay with the government running the american healthcare industry. all right. what does that mean? it means that for poorer americans, it's good. because the government is going to give them health insurance. just hand it to them for free. just like they give welfare, food stamps and whatever. it's another entitlement. for more affluent americans and some working americans, it's bad because they their taxes are going to go up to pay for the free stuff, the free healthcare that's going to the poorer americans. and for business, it's bad, because now they don't know small business in particular how much the health insurance is going to cost them. because the government can charge whatever the government wants to charge. because justice roberts said it's a tax. so they can tax you as much as they want. he they can charge as much as th

britain privatize there had, but they are being very innovative and attracting more passengers than european railroads. if we privatize the passenger train, i think we would get some passenger trains better than amtrak. but the irony is anthony haswell who called the father of amtrak because he proposed to create it back in the 1960s believes it was a mistake and we ought to privatize it. >> politicians want to hang on and control so they can claim that the reason you have a passenger train to ride is that you elected them and you need to vote for them again. >> john: another arguments is that trains are green, it's not like the cars which pollute. trains are clean? >> trains most amtrak use diesel. same kind of fuel that our cars and trucks use. they preclude. they use a little less energy than the average automobile today, but automobiles are getting more fuel efficient much faster than trains. the bus is the greenest of all. the bus uses about third as much energy and emits third amount of pollution. it's not just green. there are bus routes all over the country where the local bus compan
