Actually, I was thinking more of the $2billion in automobile
subsidies and substantially lower public transportation subsidies.
Most public amenities I don't have a problem with, although I'm not

But as I said in my original post.  I think that Drabinski paid for a
lot of the Ford Center.  Not to mention Ford...
