The Tax-And-Spend Crowd Ain't The Dems

No - - it's Republicans and their special interest business cronies.

The comments after the article show the lack of understanding of scale in expenditures between highway spending and public transit. Cars and highways cost families money. Public transit cost money, but less ... assuming your not incapable of understanding amortization. Yeah you might be able to claim a transit project as being more expensive than buying everyone a car ... but without it everyone needs to buy a car and insurance. Then the car needs to be replaced, so does the road, so does the consumed petrolatum ... You start adding these real costs and amortizing the cost of transit vehicles, and track vs. cars and highways and you start to see the huge bottomless money pit is not public transit but automobile dependency.

Too much logic, Joe.
