Ever heard of the ethanol from corn subsidies? Ever heard of government-owned cars? Here is an interesting statistic about car/truck registrations, also by the US government. Obviously most politicians have some sort of a personal driver. And let me not even get started about through your vast military funding and action you drive up oil price by heating up the conflict in the ME - that's even a double-whammy, first you pay for the military costs and then you pay for it at the pump. You can't be serious? You pay for all the stuff you wrote above on a daily basis, where's the problem with actually investing the money in areas where the public will actually benefit from it?
