Most of the people not making much money already don't pay income tax, so you're in EITC area. Which I think is a bad thing.

The "subsidies" are mostly tax breaks. I'm a fan of fewer of those, you betcha.

Fair enough. Well, maybe put the cash into updating our mass transit system. Economic stimulus in the construction, and the poor have more alternatives to pumping gas.

As an aside, if there was a high-speed rail between Detroit and Chicago, I'd visit Chicago twice as much.
