Air traffic controllers will remain on the job. But airlines will lose the authority to collect about $200 million a week in ticket taxes that go into a trust fund that pays for FAA programs.
10,400,000,000 lost a year for FAA programs? How much do the programs need?

I have this bridge that is being built across SF bay to be completed in 2013 an will sell you shares an tolls will cover the costs so you can never lose money ever because if cost increase we just in increase the fares an pass it on .( Note this bridge was going to be paid for a bout 50 years ago )
Before we hang this on the Republicans or Democrats, lets go to the source of the anti-union rider introduced into this bill. Word is that Delta, notoriously anti-union, got a friendly senator to attach the "Super Majority" rider. Delta can do what they want in their backyard, but they can keep their anti-union politics to themselves, and keep their fingerprints off those airlines and other businesses covered by the Railway Labor Act. By introducing the "Super Majority", any employee that doesn;t vote is automatically counted as a no. As it is, only votes cast are counted, comprising a simple majority.
Mind your own business, Delta, and let them fund the FAA.

My goodness, what an unproductive and ideological debate.
My interest is in the sleazy reaction of US Airways, which has moved fast to raise fares rather than allow anything to trickle back to their customers. I am so glad I decided years ago never to fly on their wretched airline, as this is typical of the way they work.

Good discussions here! Keep the posts going. Lots to learn about health care. Does SS have $2T in cash or do they have the IOU's from Treasury. If they tried to cash in on some of them would Treasury give them the money? I think not. Does Treasury actually do the check writing for SS? Allan Stanley has it right, let's cut their salaries and benefits (he means our elected people with all their programs). In fact, be sure to evaluate and cut the sweetheart programs, too. In fact cut things down to size, haven't we lost control of the government? Federal, State, and Local? Remember the town of Bell, CA and the neighboring towns, too! And there are more, like, City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Unified School District, Los Angeles County. Today, July 29th, is yet another critical day in the life of our Federal Government! Good Luck America!
