It seems like a waste for a bunch of projects to be suddenly halted. Maybe I missed something. Why is it necessary for the federal government to pay for local airports? Why not have the airports charge the airlines a fee for every passenger? Why do you all want the federal government to subsidize Delta, and other private corporations when the airlines could simply pass along the cost as a user fee like a toll road? If this is such a big problem, then Congress should reconvene for a day and snip away at the expanded budget ceiling.
[[off topic) While I'm at it, why does the TSA treat first class passengers better than other passengers by having express lanes while the rest of us wait our turn?
