The fact it has gotten to this point already is a disgrace in ever sense of the word. If a budget is not signed by the deadline this will be the first economic crisis created entirely by the bureaucracy down in Washington.

As for the taxes and fees are industry sustains to the federal coffers, I would really like to see an exact annual budget for the FAA on an annual basis.

I mean we pay $1.642 Billion every from our ticket sales, and that seems really big numbers. I understand the agency cannot sustain itself to run and needs revenue coming in for various projects and needs, but collecting $1.642 Billion off the hard work of our employs seems exploitative to me.
