That's because a lefty president stepped in and made everyone share the burden so they should share the benefits too. Imagine how much less traffic there would be if they were all private and anyone who couldn't pay, couldn't get on at all.

That would be fair, right?

Sheesh. Watching the debate nowadays is like being in a time machine with everything spinning backwards.
