NILET,The only thing you have shown is that you are a : CONDESCENDING, POMPOUS, IGNORANT, BAG OF GAS. You are the one that brought up this Land Grant bullshit. The fact is: - it applied only to 8% of railroad mileage - across granger and western states - on worthless land the US Government snatched from the Indians - was between 100 and 150 years ago, - has NO relevancy today. Trump-like distractions don't work on Subchat. You sermons and hypotheticals that you memorized from a textbook caption said NOTHING of any substance. No other person on this thread agrees with you. A NORMAL person would get DOT budget documents, show receipts and disbursements from the Federal Highway and Aviation administration, and show how much was derived from the Highway and Aviation Trust funds. They are published in the NARP newsletter every year or so. You forgot that about $52 Billion in transfer payments were made from general funds to the highway trust fund, because it neared bankruptcy, because the deadbeat Republicans won't raise the gas tax. You FAIL to understand that Aviation was partially supported by the RAILROAD ticket tax that went to general funds until 1960. You FAIL to understand that massive government subsidies and intrusion ito ALL modes of transporation renders the "Free Market" a non-existent concept. You FAIL to understand subsidies, both implicit and explicit. I'M DONE You are too stupid to have a rational discussion with. |
