How much should we spend on “these folks?” Gee, I didn’t know we had divided Americans into “these folks” and “folks like us.” I certainly don’t think we should spend any more on “these folks” than we have on “those folks” who choose to live 40 miles from work, then create congestion on old rural roads never intended for such traffic, then tie up freeways originally intended for intercity travel, then tie up valuable urban real estate in parking lots, all so they can live “in the country.” You do really want to know those numbers, do you?
Your class envy is showing.
