7. The US has a decayed, decrepit mass transit system in comparison to Europe and Japan

We simply get our asses whipped when we compare our mass transit system to countries like Germany and France and Japan.

The car, oil, and road lobbies ensured America's mass transit system would be stunted. Then again, this is a function of a campaign system run on private cash, not taxpayer dollars. Both parties have failed to transition to a public financing system.
