No, the citizen price tag is the 1+ hour you lose to the "temporary" security theater every single time you fly on an airplane despite it demonstrably doing absolutely nothing.
It's not inaccurate to call things paid for by the federal government (which yes, are indeed funded by your tax dollars) the "federal price tag".
- akira2501 3y agoI didn't say it was inaccurate, I said it was intentionally abstracted to hide the actual truth. The federal government doesn't have money to pay for these things. It raised taxes to compensate. It _was_ your money. And yes, as you've noted, they even took your money and then used it to make your life even worse and costly. You got robbed. Twice.
