Default The subsidies to GA are MASSIVE

How do you figure, with the 05 capital grants obviously exceeding the
peanuts collected in AV gas taxes? Add in the amounts provided for annual
operating subsidies (which I don't have yet), and you get a MASSIVE
SUBSIDY. (which, by the way, the Bureau of Transportation STatistics
study confirms. GA gets a bigger subsidy than AMTRAK, for goodness
sakes.)

You "patriotic" American private pilots should pay for your own
entertainment. USER FEES NOW!!!
