Public transportation is already subsidized...

...I understand that you'd like "better", but the dairy farmer in Lancaster Co. is looking at his current debt/mortgage/profit-ratio--survival--and will likely never ride a bus or trolly in Pittsburgh or Philly--and no one cares (until the cost of milk goes from $4/gal to $20/gal)--which, BTW, we give-away for free with WIC and all the food-assistance programs.

I 100% agree that this country (the whole country) should spend more on public transportation (rather than subsidizing $100K EVs), but not at the expense of farmers that put food on the table (at a reasonable cost).

You can't have everything--or, better phrased--you can't have everything--without paying for it. I own 40 acres in PA with a residence--and still pay taxes there, but haven't been in the Commonwealth since January. My parents and uncle have 1400+ acres that they pay taxes on. None of us are likely to be riding the T anytime soon. You want it--pay for it. You worked a union/gov't job--no one in your workplace was "broke". "Fiscally responsible"--that's on them.
