Somebody wasted my tax dollars coming up with this piece
of "obvious" drivel? Try them on and see what you can
hear?

Phhhhtttt. These guys are pikers, Ron. Hell, at least they're
studying something quasi-useful.

Here's a good one: There are "government studies" going on nationwide
-- to the tune of tens of millions of taxpayer dollars -- trying to
figure out why people are FAT, as if this is some sort of mystery.

Closer to (my) home, let's talk about the hundreds of thousands of
dollars spent on "environmental impact studies" for our runway
extension in Iowa City. As if any one of us couldn't have written a
fact-filled report on any given weekend, describing the effect of
adding 1000 feet of pavement to the end of the runway.

Or, perhaps, we should talk about the University of Iowa's "driving
simulator" that has cost millions, and generated little real science?
Or their ongoing millions in grants to develop "synthetic vision" --
when it's already for sale in ads in every aviation magazine.

The more you look, the sicker you become. It's best not to think about
it.

Hey! They gotta **** away $2.7 TRILLION _somehow_. Gotta keep up the
hysterics about deficits, ya' know!

Buying off voters with illegal pork is a lot cheaper than bribing them with
your own money.

That's why they need user fees. Taxpayers won't put up with such
waste, so they need to get money from people who have no say in the
matter.

The taxpayers have been putting up with $$$BILLIONS wasted for DECADES. How
do you think we got to a $2.7 Trillion Federal budget (not to mention
another $2.4 trillion on the state and local level)?

With User Fee's and the right arrangement (significantly different than we
have now), we have much more control over the next generations ATC system
development. See Robert Poole's article on this in the November issue of
_Professional Pilot_ magazine.

How do you figure? With airlines at the helm and GA paying the bill,
what control do you figure we have?

Please send all working ANR headsets, along with a modest $10/set

I've Emailed my headset to you. Could you send me a receipt for tax
purposes?



Your headset is still downloading into my replicator. I take it you
PayPal-ed me the fee?

No, I sent you a crisp ten dollar bill as an attachment. I know you're
not supposed to send cash through the mail, but this is the internet so
it should be perfectly safe.

This so reminds me of those screamer commercials by bozos trying to sell you
books on how get your share of government grant money and handouts.
Oink-oink.
