Not all walking should be funded
Obama doubled spending on biking and walking “initiatives” – to $1.2 billion dollars.
The new policy is an extension of the Obama administration’s livability initiative, which regards the creation of alternatives to driving – buses, streetcars and trains, as well as biking and walking – as central to solving the nation’s transportation woes.
Rare is the situation where you can bike or walk ACROSS STATE LINES. Cut it with the stupid spending FEDERAL government!
I walk or bike many (most) days when I’m healthy. I like it and that is all the “initiative” needed to get me to do it. The Federal government has no business printing or borrowing money for such a poor investment.
