[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by PNWRMNM</i> <br /><br />FM <br /> <br />The highway system is subsidized as described. Whether it is the Feds, the state or the locals does not make any difference and you know it. <br /> <br />Mac <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Sorry Mac, but you are in denial. You want so much to believe that highway users are subsidized, because it buttresses your case that the "competition" to railroads is subsidized, and without that point of contention you whole case is eroded. <br /> <br />The truth is, just the opposite is the reality. <b>By allowing railroads anti-trust exemption, the federal government is actually subsidizing the railroads.</b> What other transportation mode is allowed monopoly power and anti-trust exemption? None but the steel rails. <br /> <br />I know it makes your head hurt to have to contemplate that reality, but you gotta face the truth sooner or later.
