I haven't read the study so I can't really comment on it intelligently. But like the difference between precision and accuracy, there is a difference between pro-rated costs and marginal costs which needs to be taken into account. One must also consider who benefits - it's not just the immediate users. And even if xxx were subsidized, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Jose True. Not NECESSARILY a bad thing. I agree. That means the subsidies must stand up to the political/budgetary debate about why they are desirable, in the context of competing budgetary demands. I disagree with those who claim there are no subsidies -- the data, even if imperfect, makes this plain. See the BTS and FAA websites that track amount of moneys deposited into the Aviation Trust Fund by source- you will see that AV gas taxes are a tiny, tiny percentage. |
