I'm going to disagree. It's a slippery slope to start making comparisons like that because the logical conclusion is that you only spend money on cancer research. Also, I think transportation is fundamental and worth investing in. And further, it's (currently) a pretty good and very flexible way for a variety of people to earn income.
