Just enough knowledge to prove their ignorance

Yet another clueless group fires at Aviation.  A study released by Subsidyscope recently has revealed the ignorance of the people involved.  Their study said that from 2005 to 2009 more than $2 billion was spent at over 3,100 airports on 'low priority' projects.  It went on to mention how some projects were funded at airports who had as few as one paying passenger per year.  'Cause you know, airports are only for passengers; emergency services, businesses, mail delivery and political organizations don't use those same airports at all.  That was sarcasm... I think.

You can read more on it here.  It's fascinating how little the non-aviation world knows about our side of things or how much small aviation does for them.  It's even more astounding how quick they are to prove their ignorance and publish useless and misguided studies.  All we can do is continue to try and educate the public and weather these outrageous 'studies'.
