[quote user="blue streak 1"] <p>Fifth: Without the push of additional capital to speed up our public transportation sector the average US citizen will spend a larger percentage of total income on inefficient transportation than the above mentioned countries. </p><p>Although I do not like all the public financing that will be needed the competition from the other countries mentioned means the US cannot compete from a level playing field. I think that although Phillips does not say so directly he may be thinking along these lines. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Why does the government, using public money, make transportation more efficient compared to transportation financed by private capital? Government is inherently inefficient and undisciplined because they operate with other peoples' money, so their participation is bound to take a big slice of the action for their overhead.</p>
