Gregg, <br /> <br />Your comment, "so-called free market" leads me to believe you don't think there is a free market system in the US. Do you think there is a free market system in the US? Do you think the free market system is good? <br /> <br />I would like all the airline/airport subsidies eliminated as well. And I had no idea there were such subsidies paid to the companies that transport products by barge. I would like this discontinued as well. Finally, I would like the truck operators pay the appropriate amount for the construction and maintanence of the interstate and primary highway system. <br /> <br />In the end, all the costs will be paid by the consumer but it would allow all forms of transportation to compete on a level playing field. In this environment, I believe more freight will be transported by rail which will reduce congestion on the nations highway system, increase the life of the highway bridges and reduce air pollution. <br /> <br />Catch you later. - Ed
