<p>[quote user="John WR"]</p> <p>[quote user="Sam1"]One can make the case that the U.S. has over emphasized highways and presumably airways at the expense of passenger rail. Get over it. It is a done deal. The overwhelming majority of the people want cars, and they are not going back. Your position ignores political realities. It is a non-starter.[/quote]</p> <p>It is not at all clear that the "overwhelming majority" or any people at all want to subsidize a national interstate highway system where the greatest use is by a relatively small number of people. </p> <p>But then this is just the position of a guy you've decided is "obscene." [/quote]</p> <p><span>"......subsidizing wealthy commuters, as well as first class travelers on Amtrak, strikes me as obscene." The comment refers to the practice. It does not refer to you or anyone else. It is a comment on a government policy. </span></p>
