What's so hard to understand about why it's stupid and pointless to cite taxpayer funding/subsidizing as a primary reason to have a negative view on NWP operations (whatever they may be), and not even mention or care about the billions spent to widen random spots of US 101 an extra two whole lanes that will have almost no impact on relieving traffic?

My point is; if people are so upset about wasted taxpayer dollars, why not be more upset about the huge waste in highway/airport funding.
