Torutured AOPA logic

What other businesses need a federal "lifeline?"

Every business done, in that almost all businesses these day depend on
some mechanism to transport goods from one place to another.

The airports are just like the public roads.

The first six are not businesses, they are government services.

Chrysler, Delta did get federal bailouts (which I would oppose,
politically), but they do not get annual operating subsidies from the
gubmint.

As are *all* airports that receive federal funding.

Spencer Airport (where I fly) is not eligible for federal funding because it
is privately owned.

Yes, but with one major exception. Federal gasoline taxes generate more
money annually than highway grants.

AV gas taxes contibute about 2% or so to the Aviation Trust Fund. The
rest comes from commercial airline passenger and General Fund support.

The funding covers infrastructure (buildings & taxiways/runways) which
must be maintained for the airport to operate safely (remember, the
FAA's raison de etre?) in order to generate revenue.

I second Steve Foley's remark...

I like Spencer, then, and the other private airports. That is how all GA
airports should be operated. As businesses. No tax money.

So are roads and airports. Sometimes, Loon, you stumble across the truth!

TVA is a government "business."

Yeah. So is WAPA and other federal power projects. They should be
privatized, if you ask me.....

Oh well. At least no one asked me what "torutured" logic is. I think i
got that word from W.

Just GA airports? Why?
