One of these days, Congress will actually fund the FAA with a proper bill.

I doubt it will be in my lifetime.

Calling Congresscritter's office now.

The behavior and performance of our elected representatives in Washington, is, in my opinion, an embarrassment and disservice to our country. We have real problems that need to be addressed and all we get is this?

Hard to spend money you don't have. No easy answers, or good ones for that matter. Just shades of bad. A difficult situation in a democracy where everyone is used to more.

At least if they're not funded they can't force us into NextGen right?
