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.

Why stop at transportation?

Perhaps we should have User Fees for the Welfare system?
