Opinion of the Issue, part 70

[Sbane]

Yes -if roads and highways can be subsidized by the state (seemingly on a whim, at least by comparison), there is no reason why mass transit should somehow be held to a stricter standard before receiving that money.  And since most of the population now reside either in cities or in their inner suburbs, it only makes sense to expand federal funds to build and maintain mass transit systems to serve those areas.
