Yes!!! Thanks for mentioning the huge operating and capital subsidies
that the FAA provides. General Aviation is heavily subsidized by the
taxpaying public.



Hey! Let's talk about the $534 billion (and climbing exponentially)
dollar annual Federal outlay for Medicare that's bankrupting our
country!

Versus the approximately $2.8 billion that we spend every year
subsidizing commercial aviation, nationwide.

That would be 1/190th of the cost of "health care" in America, in order
help ensure air access in the country.

Medicare and Medicaid now represent over half of the Federal budget,
and have become monsters that are far bigger than transportation,
defense or any other part of the budget.

I think you need a new cause. It appears that you are having trouble
seeing the forest cuz the trees are in your way...


What about the $40B that the President has promised to Africa?
