If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut Education and Science Research the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

In fact, I think a truly mature conversation would actually assess some of our many past asset sales and consider whether re-nationalising some of those assets might be in the country's interest.
But that's definitely not the conversation he wants.

Using a car costs way more - in both private and public costs - than public transport and other modes. When our government decides to invest in motorways over public transport and to prioritise sprawling car dependent suburbs, they are actively choosing to force up the cost of transport.
