Gary, my man, next time you fly anyplace look closely at the cost of your ticket, believe me you are paying plenty, all the additionl fees and look at the fees and what they pay for, additionally, the airlines pay through the nose for "Gates", every taxi, every bus pays to go on the airport property. Airports are making a ton of money, airlines go bankrupt, when is the las time you heard of an airport loosing money, believe me they don't, you and every user pays for everything, the pretty flowers, water beds and plants, your paying and every othe flyer is paying, if your flight has a stop, that is called a segment, you may double, don't believe me, check your ticket stub my friend. Subsidize RR is ok, well then perhaps they can subsidize my mortgage, or my kids tution, how about college loan payments, they can subsidize that as well. The gov gets the money to do all this subsidizing from one sourse, you and me and everyone else. By defintion, Gary, the government can't do anything effectively or efficiently, the post office, the rr, medicare, social security, everything looses money yet Fed Ex, UPS, Union Pacific, etc all make money, They my friend are effective and efficient, they are private, hell they even pay dividends. The government on the other hand is simply sad and pathetic.
