Brent Johnson, Belle Plaine: Idiot

Brent Johnson writes to the Editor of the Star Tribune newspaper to whine about the government spending money on mass transit, demonstrating vast ignorance or something. Sadly for us, but perhaps happily for him, he has lots of company in his half-witted belief that only the [mass] "transit system" is heavily subsidized. Never mind the trillions of dollars in general revenue which have gone into the nation's highways over the past decades, eh?

Keep in mind that this was only part of the $6.6 billion bill for higher gas taxes and other fees to bring in more money not only for roads and bridges, but an already heavily subsidized transit system!
