Follow-up. I was laughing so much I forgot to post more Boyerisms. In (a
very poor attempt) to defend the adequacy and efficiency of the current
funding system...

Boyer said. "Just look at the facts: In 2005, the United States had nine
times more departures than United Kingdom and four times more airports
than Brazil. And general aviation is a large part of the U.S. aviation
industry. In 2004, 68 percent of all aircraft in the country were GA."

LOL again. Well, those "facts" may be accurate. But obviously they are
irrelevant. Of course the US has more airports and departures than the
UK
and Brazil. WTF does that prove?? Maybe he should compare the number of
airports in the US to Luxembourg also.
