There are no problems in the USA right now because taxpayers will speak their mind. I love track racing but I also realize that I should pay for and help raise funds for things I like (and not rely on the government to pay the bill).
Taxpayers supplement lots of things they will never use. I don't have children. Why should I pay for schools? I don't use the local public park with baseball, soccer and football fields. Why should my tax dollars pay for it?
We agree as a society that somethings are important, and many communities think bicycling facilities fit that bill.
