Now that I have again provided the amount of annual funding deriving from
GA fuel taxes (including AV GAS and Jet A), compare that to 2005 capital
grants to airports by looking at the ACTUAL 2005 DATA below. (Note that
these figures DO NOT include the $150K annual operating subsidy that many
GA airports receive.)

DAMN: the subsidies are enormous, as every informed person knows....

Why single out GA in the first place? What about subsidies for bicycle
lanes? When the Dumbarton Bridge was built across San Francisco Bay,
they spent $4 million to install bicycle lanes, which may get two or
three bicycles a week using them.

Tell you what, Loon: Cut out all the rest of the "unnecessary"
subsidies, then let's talk about GA subsidies.
