My father in law, a retired commercial pilot, drove a school bus to keep busy.

Their bus system was 100% funded by federal funds. Yet he would drive around and pick up kids in poverty stricken areas of Southern Illinos with Romney yards signs all over the place.

Federal rural property loans.
state and federally subsidized schools and lunch programs.
Bridges and roads they would never be able to build without federal and state funds.


But they are self sufficient country folk.mand they will tell you every chance they get.
