And what is
the rationale for having the other 299,000,000+ of us pay for something
we'll never use?
**************
The same rationale that takes some of my tax dollars to pay for the
interstate highway running through your location.
In other words, none.
Thank-you.
The Interstate highway system is part of the US defense infrastructure.
Ike when he was a mere junior officer had to take a convoy across the US.
Took a couple of months. And when he saw the German Autobahn, he knew we
need better transportation infrastructure for our own self preservation.
And 1 in 5 miles is supposed to be able to work as an airstrip.
