Certainly will if we start looking into some things. Like, if Biden makes less than $200K/yr (I’m guessing), and pays $250/roundtrip (AMTRAK site’s Acela fare) to commute home every night (don’t we all), say 4 times week for say 40 weeks per year, where does that $40,000 come from? And so what, he commutes home? On that train it’s about 1-1.5 hours, about the same amount of time it took me to drive 35 miles home when I worked in DC and lived in MD. I’d love to see how much he pushed AMTRAK subsidies — each daily r/t probably cost us $500-750 in real terms to the taxpayer.

My guess is that the taxpayers and/or his campaign pay for his commuting expenses.

I used to see Biden at Union Station regularly but usually only on Friday afternoon. I commuted every day (from Baltimore). My impression was he stayed in Washington through the week and went home on the weekends. I could be wrong about this. Back then, he rode the Metroliner.
