"The U.S. government, which plans to invest more than $5.8 billion from
2009 through 2013 in the GPS space and ground control segments
currently under development, provides GPS service free of charge."

Read this closely and think about what it says......

We're NOT getting GPS service "free of charge", damn them all! We're
paying $US5.8 billion dollars for it!

Since when did GOVERNMENT become a for-profit corporation??

I just had to "rent" our local Small Claims Court from the County
bureaucrats for $80 to go after a deadbeat that owes me money. I pay,
dearly, for every bureaucrat's services EVERY year since 1966. Why are
there FEES to use my OWN courthouse?! I'M PREPAID, DAMMIT!

I also have to pay, dearly, to use MY AIRPORT PARKING LOT!

Yeah Larry, I like the argument about how low our taxes are when compared to
other first world nations. The arguees for some reason can't think beyond
federal income tax. I think I'm at 45-50%.
